Emmissions wise, recovers fuel vapors and filters it with activated carbon and returns to the fuel tank.

Part correct ... yea, stores the gat tank vapors in the carbon, then when your driving the engine sucks them out under certan conditions ...

I have heard of people taking this out and using some sort of 1 way valve. Is that a good idea or is it best to leave it in there?

Yeah. It's the same thing. They moved it to the back for the 98 and 99 cars for reasons I can't recall at the moment.
