The vacuum canisters work as a way to "store" a vacuum to power your vents and whatnot. The effect of the reservoir is that you don't lose your vent controls when you lay on the gas. You don't need one (as a matter of fact, mine doesn't have one.), but they're just a convenience thing.

I only know of the one behind the passenger side of the front bumper. Where are your others located. I suspect they are NOT vacuum cannisters.

I'm not sure, but the 88's may still have them up on the right shock tower. I have two on mine. And they look like large tin cans.
