TPI engine clean up

Hello I'm new to the forum. I just baught a 87 iroc and I'm trying to clean up some of the clutter in the engine bay. The a/c and air pump are already pulled is the any other emissions a.I.r or... that I can remove to make the engine look better. Also I have no emmissions testing where I'm from so don't have to worry about it

I don't know too much about what you can or cannot remove, sorry can't help you there. But I am looking at an 87 iroc myself. You have any pics?

You could remove the Egr, But that could cause problems. Up to you though. Remove the windshield wiper fluid bottle is another suggestion.

Just an FYI.....

Despite a lack of emissions testing somewhere, it does not make it legal to remove emissions parts. They are a FEDERAL requirement & an inspection station can (and should by law) fail a car that has had them removed.
