Stinky 1979 900 Question

Hello All,
I was wondering if it is typical for our wonderful Saabs to vent fuel vapors. I don't want to leave it in the garage because of vapors. Here is what I have done so far in attempting to resolve the situation (all listed components had problems):
1)Replaced fuel filler assembly and gas cap.
2)New O-ring and gasket around fuel pump and fuel sending unit.
3)Leak in tank (metal tank) repaired.
4)Charcoal canister is 23 years old, but vapors do not seem to be coming from there (also, I understand this doesn't really do anything unless the car is running).
Fuel accumulator not leaking. All leaks have been hunted down and fixed. Does anyone have any other ideas where these vapors could be coming from? And, as I asked earlier, is this just the norm for these cars?
Thanks in advance for your help.
