I removed some parts. Did I screwup?

Julie/Jeff-
  This is carbon canister stuff.  It prevents gasoline vapors from reaching the atmosphere.  Disconnecting it won't affect the running of your 'roc, but will add slightly to polution.

  I just did the same thing, but I left the "tennis ball holder", which is a
  vacuum canister. The other stuff is all unnecessary equipment for these old
  cars, as I understand it, and didn't make a difference on my 79. The tank on
  the front passenger side has a hose that runs to the gas tank ventilation
  system. Which is made up of yet another tank just behind the filler neck and
  some vent hoses from the tank. What I read about it says it guards against
  the gas tank collapsing. I have not found any evidence that removing the
  front stuff, as many before you and I have, has a negative effect. HTH,
  Jeff
