You are correct that if you block off the tank holes you will need a vented cap.
Why not just fix the system properly? Everyone is afraid of emission controls, but they work, especially the evaporative system. I for one hate the smell of gasoline in a garage, and the charcoal canister will eliminate this. Another system people love to rip out is the EGR valve which is another system people don't understand, yet doesn't rob any horsepower.
I guess the laws in the US are pretty easy because here in Canada (Ontario specifically) there's a $350 dollar fine for each violation, and yes, they do have roadside inspections.
