But if you did a vent to atmo line by the tank shouldn't that solve the gas tank groaning in the heat, or would it make the same sounds when the valve closes when cold and the tank wants to cool down? As in the reverse of when it gets hot and swells. After it gets hot, vents, cools but he valve is closed, and makes the tanks try to contract.

The logic to run it is pretty simple, IIRC it's basically open whenever there's vacuum and the engine's warmed up and the revs are in some range. It's not like the EGR where to make it work you need another set of 3d maps.

I did like sixshooter and removed everything including the hard line and egr and all related solenoids as the hydra uses none of it. I just ran a hose down by the fuel filter with a lawn mower filter to keep bugs from crawling into it. It attaches to the tank where the char. cannister did. No issues with vapors.

I would remove all the evap stuff, both black boxes, all the lines, then plug the cap/rollover valve on top of the gas tank, the one feeding both charcoal cans.
If you just plug this or any other part of the purge system then the gas tank will hold mad pressure. Gas caps are designs to hold pressure, but they are easily fixed. I was even able to keep the rollover ball valve on my NA cap, just took the spring from the plunger so it's always venting.

Any pictures of cap mod?

I just did this on my 2000. I capped the port from the mani to the from charcoal canister, removed the front canister, hoses, and hard line to the back of the car. In the rear, I removed the large charcoal canister and left the filter (~2" diameter canister with one hose on each end) and the vent (small plastic thing attached to the chassis where the hose ends).
Just connected the hose from the tank right to the bottom of the filter. No explosions yet, though I do notice faint gas smells on occasion. That makes sense considering what I removed.

Diagram in this post
In diagram, red means remove, green is jumpered together.
Don’t over-fill the tank or gas will run out of the vent.
