Put the cansiter back. There's no reason to remove it.
Removal will allow vapours from the fuel tank to enter the engine bay. Not really dangerous, but the car will reek like fuel.
To answer your question, the small nipple on the top of the canister leads to the check valve coming from the fuel tank. The large nipple leads to the "crankcase" and ultimately to the purge valve. If you insist on removing the canister, you will need to follow this line back to the engine and then cap the nipple on the engine closed.
