Lose all of the emissions stuff, you don't need it UNLESS you live in california.
If your going carbureted, you can lose all of the right side ecu harnesses, don't hack them, just pull them out neatly.

The accessory setup takes a lot of attention away from the engine itself. Also, you have to try and make the wires disappear. I used Techflex brand braided sleeving that pretty much just disappears. Also, the stock valve covers are kinda an eyesore under the hood IMO.
Tell me the wiring harness doesn't blend right in

I know what he meant, And he's right, they didn't put the emissions stuff on there for no reason, but i live in a state where no one cares (yet).
