Sounds exactly like what I was left with/started with. Currently, I still
have the anti-runon mounted, but it's not connected to anything (just
filling the little square hole it goes in). I did have the canister
connected to the line coming from the fuel tank, but have recently
disconnected and removed it. I have had the car on the road for over a year
and a half under these conditions with a freshly built engine, and have had
no issues. Make sure all the holes on the intake manifold are plugged
except for vac advance (if you connect it there).
