The one with the hoses, I believe, is the evap/charcoal canister. The other thing is MIA on my 88 Pathy, but I think it's smog related. Dunno if/what can be removed though.....

Pictures would help of the items in question. You need a more informative thread title, I can see you're new to forums in general, so that's okay. Just in the future, use a better title.

 

The black cylinder with hoses come out of it is generally called a charcoal canister, it's a smog related item that helps with fuel vapors from the gas tank. The other item also sounds smog related, and someone with a TBI truck should be able to help you out with identifying it.
