Emissions stuff

[Bugger]

I am new to bugs, I actually bought mine this week, but I am looking to get rid of some of the emissions stuff that isn't doing anything. What can I get rid of without losing performance etc.? It is a 1974 bug, but it supposedly has a newer engine, still type one but newer from brazil I think. My main questions are can I get rid of the canister in the front, near the cas tank? The canister behind the right rear tire? the hoses from those? What do i need to do to remove them?
