IIRC, the Toyota canister used an electrical actuation. The Chevy is simply hooked up to ported vacuum with one hose going to the tank, the other is a vent, or a source of fresh air to purge the canister. This should have a filter of some kind on it, like a fuel filter to keep crud out of the canister. The hookups are clearly labeled on the Chevy's canisters, I think it would be a better choice, since you will not likely have the ability to actuate the stock purge valve once you toss the 2F and it's related circuits.
