Sorry no picture right now but I will describe as best I can...

There is a canister mounted below the battery tray in my '90 GSX that has/had 3 fittings on it... most are disconnected and just dangling, and a couple are looped back in. The ports are labeled something like Tank, A/C and Carb... I assume this is the charcoal canister... how should it be connected and/or deleted correcty?

Also, there are 4 vacuum lines that go to a bracket under the manifold... some more dangling lines are connected here... on the other side (driver side) the lines are open and zip tied out of the way. Is this bracket simply a pass thru or is there a connection in to the plenum?

Is there a comprehensive vacuum diagram available somewhere? I just want to know what I need to keep and what to remove.

You'd be correct. http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/bolt-tech/333979-charcoal-canister-removal-intake-install-help.html

The vacuum ports on the bracket on the back of the intake manifold are simply a pass through from the cluster of relays/sensors above your brake booster to the EVAP canister, EGR, etc.

Here's the vacuum diagrams. If you are worried about emissions, it may not be a good idea to remove these things. Make sure that you never "T" into the BOV line for a MBC either.

The bracket you're referring to is just a factory hardline set that vacuum lines plug into from one side of the engine bay and carry vacuum to the other side. That charcoal canister can be deleted, just do a quick search on "Emission Delete" and it will specify everything you can remove/cap off.

You need to do some research on which lines to pull and which few to keep.

^ Beat me to it, with more detail, no doubt.
