Default Remove charcoal canister?

Im thinking of removing the charcoal canister, or at least the vaccum lines going from it. Does anyone know if anything bad could happen, i heard that the bladder in the gas tank would colapse, is this true. Also can you remove the bladder and just cover the whole inside with POR-15? :confused:

Mine never had one when I bought it :nonod: never had a problem without it. I did put a screen over the end just so it didn't get clogged up and the tank could vent. I never even noticed a gas smell in the engine compartmet, so It really doesn't think it maters either way.
