Hi Brian,

Yes, but plug the pipes to and from it as failure to do so will cause air to be sucked into the inlet tract, upsetting the mixture.

It's better to plug the pipes than disconnect the purge electrovalve as this will prevent the engine ECU from recording a fault and possibly causing the ECU to fail to "limp home" mode.
