I guess what I still don't understand is when the purge valve is closed, how does air get in or out (ie, what prevents it from being a closed loop system?).
I just saw your build thread. I didn't realize your building a racer.

You can probably get away with removing the whole thing but you will likely get a CEL. A lot of racers will though, just check your codes prerace. If it's that big of a deal you may be able to delete it with piwis but I don't know for sure. Also, your garage will probably smell a bit like gasoline. As long as your garage isn't too hot it probably won't be horrendous but that's hard to say.

Don't block off the tank vent or filter neck vent lines, you'll regret that. If you delete the purge valve, I would block off the tube going back to the intake or else you'll likely have a vacuum leak.

I don't know the answer to your last question. There may be a valve built into the charcoal canister as a burp valve? It may just act as a resivoir and not actually vent. Not sure about though.
