What's the prurpose of the charcoal canister?

I have just completed a complete emissions removal via the Rotary Resurrection instructions. There is a cylindrical caniter on the pass. side of the engine compartment that I believe is called the charcoal canister. It has two lines running to it, one came from the engine block and was capped off in the directions. The other line is smaller and runs to a connection on the drivers side that goes under the car.

Can I do away with the charcoal canister?
What is it's purpose?
And if I do away with it what should become of that small line?

Thanks for your help, always wanting to learn!
