Cleaning the Engine Bay

Hey Guys and Gals. So I'm wanting to clean up my engine bay and remove anything I don't need. I have a 1986 Camaro Sport Coupe that originally had the 2.8L MFI V6 with the matching V6 T5 transmission. It now has a 5.7L 350 with the V8 T5. I'm aware of "weird" emissions things that were put in place back when this car was manufactured. Here in Montana, emissions are NOT a big deal. Which is great. So Basically what I'm asking is what can I remove from my engine bay to make it look better? Any and All advice is welcomed!

Thanks!

Re: Cleaning the Engine Bay

You can remove everything from the engine bay except for brakes. Remove all emissions equipment which by itself frees up much room, remove the washer and coolant tanks, remove air conditioning which after a/c is the Second biggest space demand. Relocate the battery.
