Cleaning up the engine bay.

So I finally got around to removing the smog crap, A/C, and finally installed my SLP 1 3/4 headers that have been in their original shipping box for over 2 years!

I need to know where and how to reroute some of the other crap sitting on top of my engine. I know there is an engine under all the hoses and wiring and I figure you guys can help me find it.
If you have pictures or suggestions lets have 'em.

I couldn't stand all the under hood clutter my car had.

I removed all the A/C Equip, all the Smog equip, the Charcoal Canister, the overflow and coolant bottles (which I replaced with a combination unit from a Ford Exploder)

I am planning on getting rid of the bracket on the pass side of the engine this spring, a buddy of mine is going to make me an adjuster in his Machine Shop, either that or I like the mid mount set up that is in this forum as well. I also am going to run the wiring through the Firewall directly behind the ditributor when I put in my new motor.

Enoough talk, here's the pics!

When I bought it in March of 98, you can't even see the Passenger Valve Cover:


The Ford Exploder combination overflow/washer bottle:


Wow, I can actually see the passenger valve cover:


And my nice basically clutter free, but with all functional street necessities, engine bay:
