I am trying to clean up my engine compartment and it is bulky and i am pretty sure i dont need it or the 10 ft of lines that come with it. should i just bypass it or capoff the metal fuel line and also the port where it enters the block?

I would highly suggest that you do a search function on 'charcoal canister' in this section. There is a lot of good information on what it does, why it's there, and why it should be left alone.
It is more a function of the gas tank /purge system than anything else. It is important and rarely fails (unless your purge system is faulty elsewhere).

Well if you are going to pull it, then make your gas cap vented. A pressurized fuel tank system uses the charcoal to absorb the gasoline fumes. Fumes are created in the tank and under pressure they have to vent somewhere. In the old days you did not pressurize the tank, and they used vented gas caps.
Drill a small 1/8" hole in the gas cap.
