Its probably not a structural issue. It actually takes a lot to mess up the structure on these cars enough to affect ride height. Buy hey, I'm just an Internet Bully. I guess he missed my title on this site (Crumudgeon). As I implied, you have more important things to worry about after a 10 year restoration then the ride height on a car that is not fully assembled, the suspension not settled, the bushings not torqued in place with the car on the ground, etc.

Step into the light and install the SUs. They are easy to clean up, and you'll be able to close your hood.

I always felt one function of the evap tank is to separate fuel from air and vapor, such that liquid fuel wouldn't glurp into vent line and dribble out the bottom of the carbon canister. Anyway, it's a complicated little bit of engineering (so many tubes!), so I figure there was some thought put into it and probably reasons as to why it was done the way it was done. As old as I am, I can recount several times when I've simplified something, only to find that there was good reason for the baffling complexity. If I were stripping down a 240 to race, the evap tank would probably go. But for a 280 that's a DD, it only makes sense to preserve the original design. Just my opinion.
