What is everything I can remove from under the hood that I do not need. I am planing on removing all the smog equipment and relocating the battery to the trunk, but is there anything else that I do not need in the engine bay?

well, to start, you can get rid of the all AC equipment. That isn't needed, especially if you have T's.

I would prefer to keep my ac for those really hot days. I'm just trying to unclutter everything I can from underneath my hood that I don't need. Anyone else have any suggestions?

LOL, Dingley! Homestar is funny as hell!

Leave EGR, the PCV setup, and the charcoal (fumes) canister. They're harmless, and will even help your engine.

There's always the washer bottle, too... makes a good home for an MSD box... just keep a bottle of water in the car.

I am building my car primarily to race, but it will be street legal (meaning it will have mufflers and lights, that's it). I got rid of everything, AC, heater box, emissions, crusie control stuff, charcoal stuff. A camaro engine bay with all that stuff gone is a beautiful thing, so much space to work. if you PM me with your email, I will send you some pics...
