Default a little bit - do you want to keep the manifold connection or no?

if no, ditch the F-hose, connect the EVAP line directly to the manifold port, and cap off the spider line that went to the F-hose.

If yes, i'd do the same as above, but T into the line going from the catch can to the Y-pipe and one of the available manifold lines (EVAP, N249, doesnt much matter) and put a line between them with a check valve.

Default Need a little more help

Which line is the EVAP line? I've been trying to find a f-hose delete walk through but can't find one.

Anyway assuming that I delete the F-hose then I could just install the can between the spider and the check valve going to the y-pipe?
