The canister on the Jeep that I am fixing only has a single hose in one end. The mounting tabs have been broken off and now there is a hole in it.

Can you maybe follow the vacume lines and see where the extra ones go?

Otherwise I would say yes. Cap it off at that 'T' and use it.

cap off all the ones you dont need, just make sure you get tight fitting caps to ensure no leaks.

That's what I was hoping. I only need the 1. Definitely gonna get the rubber caps to cap them instead of the whole screw in the line like all the other half asser's lol

The parts Jeep (the one with 4 lines) went to the scrapper this morning. The one I'm fixing only has 1 line that runs up the fender well to the firewall and to the motor I believe. It also T's off for the cruise control. That all there is.

I knew they were cheap and they look a lot better the screws.

They definitely do, and when you get the kit you can cut the ends off the extra long plugs and use them as vaccum line connects, thats what i used mine for.
