Well, my engine is covered in tons of stuff. I havn't done anything except routine maintenance to the engine. I am still debating adding headers to my car, but there is little room for it. What are all the hoses on the passenger side for? The ones above the valve cover? I have seen other cars without this and I want to know if I need it or not. One other thing, how much of a difference does the emitions stuff make? I mean, how much does it clean up the exhaust from our cars?
If anyone can give me a description of removing this stuff, I would appriciate it. I don't want to screw anything up and have to put it all back. Thanks for the help.

 

Those are heater tubes i think. If you dont put those on then you will not have heat in your car. You dont have to remove them. The smog pump is not that big of a deal. You can keep all of this and use headers easily. I got edlebrock TES headers. You jsut have to take a few things off, then the headers go in then you put it all back together. Its not that hard and they are definately worth it.

wrong. All that stuff is so that coolant isn't always flowing through your heater core. you can remove all that stuff, run 2 lines and you have a heater still.
