Phil, you are right about the placement of the fuel vapor
canister (part #17075840), but the part on the other side of the car that he described is a fuel vapor
tank (part #10041455)(it can only be seen from underneath as it is between the frame beside the battery and the right wheel well liner). If you follow the two hoses from the vapor canister you will see them transvrse the forward firewall and connect with the fuel vapor tank. It is all part of the emission system.
