Removing emmissions crap as well as A/C stuff

Okay....i want to remove all the emmissions and A/C crap from my engine bay, mostly because i want a very clean engine bay, but also because none of it is hooked up (at least most of it isnt) and its just wasting space.....how do i remove all the AIR stuff? what do i need to do/buy to completly get rid of the A/C?
Thanks,
-Chris

First things first. Get rid of the evil filter foam triangle. All it takes is one good backfire and the foam melts up, gets sucked into your engine, and kablamo.

As for the rest, sorry, all I know is the AC delete pulley. I just had to give my 2c on the air filter.

Start with the heater blower motor, all the plastic, the heater core...Lots involved....maybe this will help? I have no ac/heat/smog either.
I Can take more pictures of it will help. This was to show someone how to bypass the heater core...



Then you will want to make a block-off panel like this to get rid of the now useless controls...




Where in MA are you? I lived in Marblehead for 11 years, was born at Mass general.
