charcoal canister purge valve...what to do?

this question is for the Ls swap guys. when swapping your motor, what did you do about the charcoal canister purge valve that is attached to the hose coming from the throttle body? i believe that ive heard some one say that they just plugged the inlet but what did you plug it with? thanks for the help.

i don't think that will work in my application the motor is an ls1 from a 98 camaro mine plugs into the side of the throttle body. man that sucks that would be awesome if that would've worked for me. the plug leaving the throttle body and the purge valve looks just like the one on the fuel rail so i may could find one that would fit that and just plug it.

Re: charcoal canister purge valve...what to do?

ok so this isnt as cheap as yall will get off but i think i have found a way to do it. im gonna use a fuel rail to -6an fitting(RUS-640850 or RUS-640860) and a -6an flare cap(100312 - JEGS). what do you guys think about this? i think it should work but there may be an easier way. i have one of the rus-640850 fittings at the house im gonna try but im out of town.

To be clear, we dont have to use the charcoal canister that came with the truck anymore?
