Could be a vacum unit for the a/c controls. They are also found on range rovers that I know of, a spherical unit about 100mm across. seems to be inline with the vaccum supply to the switching mechanism. Only needed if your a/c or heater has vaccum controlled controls.

Having seen this exact item on several Toyota half cuts (including a 1G-GTE), I assure you it is a charcoal cannister! Some Toyotas also have a vac tank, but they're usually a small cylinder shaped device.

It's a part of your vehicle's emissions system, so from a legal perspective you need it. Everything will still work properly if you remove it, but then you'll have the fuel tank breather venting into the engine bay. Unless you like the smell of fuel in the cabin, I suggest you leve it connected!
