I have a cel code p0455 (evap) emmisions control system leak
large. I've looked everywhere and find nothing. If I replace
these gaskets might this help?

No you need to replace those gaskets if you get PO171 and PO174 at the same time. Seems like you might have gas tank leak, and/or loose gas cap.

At one time I did have both those codes at same time. When
I bought the car it had a modified air intake. Noticed the
MAF was on backwards.Fixed it-now i get codes po455 and p0171

Well you have PO171 - system to lean bank one. That could be, dirty MAF, bad O2 sensor, and a few other things. First off to clear the PO171 I would clean your MAF. You must use non-resiude eletric cleaner incase you didnt know. Secondly with the PO455, your looking for a gasoline leak, look under the car after you drive somewhere, look at the hose going from the cap to the tank for leaks.

thank you guys very much. I think I can get this fixed from the info you have given me. Just one more question.When I clean the MAF with a non resiude cleaner, do I spray it right on the sensor and do I have to unhook the battery?

Alright assuming you know where it is, you actually remove it and then spray it and then let it dry for a second, then reinstall it.
You dont have to disconnect the battery.
Also you car may stall a few times after removing the air tubing and stuff, just to let you know.
