Default Where's the Evaporator Purge Canister ?

Getting a code on '96 LT1. Can someone help me locate the Evaporator Purge Canister. Also, any recommendations? Replace Solenoid? Gas Cap?
Thank in advance for your help!

In my 92 its at the passenger rear in the area behind the tire. Covered up with the inner fender.
Most likely the selenoid or the lines back at the canister leading to the tank.

Do you see that check valve on the hose in the picture?
Thats was also bad on mine besides the selenoid.

The placement of that canister turns the 10 minute job of replacing the right rear marker light into a real pain in the butt.
