So......
I'm considering deleting the charcoal canister. I'm told that the JDM engines don't even use them anyway, right? My motor is a JDM B18C (SIR-G), so I'm of the belief that it never utilized such a system anyway if that information is correct.
What would I need to do in order to delete it? which vacuum lines do I need to cap off, or tee into (if applicable) on the intake manifold/throttle body. I will be using the stock dual runner intake manifold for the time being.

updates (WITH PICS this time)
so, my friend stopped by while I was working a few days ago, and snapped these:
"Do work, son"
"Doin' work, son."
was taking out the rear motor mount when he showed up. that rear bolt on the factory mount is a b**** to get off. Thank goodness the Hasport mount doesn't have all those provisions blocking access to the bolt. Will be MUCH easier to put on.
lol. now, onto the updates...
this came in today, the final piece to the puzzle
GS-R Throttle cable
and here are the bay shots...
Before 1 (motor had been out less than 5 minutes at this point)
Before 2
*that pic was taken AFTER I had done the degreasing and cleaning. But underneath it all, you can see the paint was in horrible shape. Especially, underneath the driver's side mount area (practically no paint at all after the degreasing )
So, I got right to work... These are the results:
Note the cross-members, as well. And look at that beautiful, fresh Captiva Blue Pearl in the bay
These phone pics do absolutely NO JUSTICE to how much nicer it looks under the hood. These pics are terrible compared to how they actually look. Fortunately, I found my camera today. But, I need to recharge the battery for it, so I'll be able to take better pics as I'm finishing up.
The cam on my phone sucks, horribly. The pics look blurry and hazy, and Verizon won't replace the phone or anything (long story).
Some of the hoses are still a little dirty. I'm gonna replace most of them, and hit the remaining hoses with some more soap and water to get the dirt off, and then hit them with some Armor All or something to make them look like new.
also, I removed the charcoal canister today, as well. Had to stop after that, though. Started raining, and I wanted to get the hood closed up, and the car covered back up before all that fresh paint was messed up.
I didn't get to do the wire tuck that I wanted to do. My time was limited, and the weather was DEFINITELY not on my side this week. As you can see, I don't have a garage to work in. So, the tuck will have to wait until I can get it done in a garage.

This is a little late Jake, but I think the clutch pedal itself resets the transmission fork when you release it, since the clutch pedal has a spring on it.
If the new motor doesnt use the charcoal canister, you can remove the canister and the plumbing under it. There shouldnt be any vac lines on the new throttle body nor intake manifold. One of them, on my motor, runs to the top of the throttle body. The other connects to the back of the IM on the driver's side. It is T'd behind the IM, but I havent bothered finding out where else it leads to.
For the speedo part, are you referring to the VSS? Can the unit from your cable tranny be switched over to the hydro transmission to allow you to use the speedo cable?
And by late I mean 2 days...

motor is in!
pics will be up later. was a bit disappointed to find out that the aftermarket intake I bought WILL NOT fit :down: (there goes $50)
thanks to that clusterfuck known as ABS...
started running out of day light. I was getting tired, had to run to the hardware store twice for two bolts for the rear motor mount bracket. Apparently, the previous owner of the motor (clearly a Japanese fellow) stripped the old bolts out, so he re-tapped them so my existing bolts wouldn't work, and JSPEC didn't provide me with the rear bracket. partially because I told them I didn't need it. oh well. it's on, and i found two bolts that work.
just need to:
*pop the axles back in
*bolt the suspension parts back together (just the tie rods and hub assembly).
*load up the new fluids (oil and transmission fluid) and coolant
*put the radiator back in
*wire up the battery
*extend the wires for the MAP sensor
*and enjoy.
