there is a small round black canister in the engine bay on the drivers side, got a hose going into the top and one out the bottom, any idea what this is and is it needed to be kept or can i chuck it?

charcoal canister. its the breathing system for the tank. you can get rid of it but atleast put a filter on the end.

Are they in the same place for the BB engines AND M's?

I know that certain components in the vitara engine bays jump around between models.
