In regards to the EVAP code, have you checked the lines coming off of the carbon canister? Those can and do crack and will cause the P0441 code.
When you say you checked to make sure the engine was centered on the new mounts, do you mean that you performed the torque strut alignment procedure? Have you replaced the rear engine mount? Once the torque struts go back, that mount can go bad rather quickly depending on driving habits/conditions. That mount must also go back into the exact same spot (you are supposed to outline the old mount before removing it and place the new one in that exact same position).

There are the torque struts, the two mounts on the passenger side, the transmission mount on the driver's side and the rear engine mount on the passenger side. 4 mounts total. I was talking about the one mount you haven't checked. 
If that is bad or an aftermarket mount, you'll get vibrations inside of the car. Usually though, if that mount is bad, you'll also have vibrations while accelerating or going over bumps/hills in the road until the car warms up.
As for aligning the torque struts, you need to follow a specific procedure and make an exact measurement between the two reference points. A link to said procedure is in my signature.
