Remove it and associated wiring and pipes and loop any coming off the intake manifold.
No error codes when I took mine out.

Quite a simple job.

Simply rip it out and block the vacuum line to it at the intake manifold. You don't need to plug anything else as you still need to allow the fuel tank to vent. It will vent a little fuel vapour into the engine bay with no ill effect. If the thought of it really does bother you, you can trace the line back to the fuel tank and vent it there. I didn't bother and it has been fine.
