Fuel vent and return lines

I have a question as to what to do with them. I'm running a ArizonaZ manifold with a Holley 390CFM 4 bbl. I'm using the stock mechanical fuel pump. I'm also using a vented gas cap. My question is: What do I do with the return fule line? Right now it's just setting there doing nothing. Also, do I need all the original stuff, IE hoses, canaster, ext that's hooked up to the tank? I realize by eliminating all that, all the fumes will be vented to the air. Should I keep all that and run a non vented cap? I'm living in a place where there is no emission laws what-so-ever. Any advice will be helpful. Thanks. BTW, I have a 260 in my 77. I'm also running a complete Monza exhaust, including headers.

In this heat gas expands and a full tank of gas need to be vented....if you remove the return line and all other devices, keep the vented gas cap and do not fill to capacity with fuel and let car set in hot weather. The old 50's and 60's cars would pour gas out on the ground from a full tank in hot weather. Gas was $.25 to .35 a gallon then.
