cleaning up the engine bay
Well I have been reading up on The A/C delete and the Smog delete mods. Eventually I will be doing those when I get the pulleys and also understand it all 100%. Is there anything in the engine bay that I can get rid to clean it up that doesn't require replacement parts? I've got some extra time today and tomorrow and thought I would look into this. It is not a daily driver, just a summer fun car that eventually we would like to turn into a show car.
Get rid of all the emissions and A/C garbage, I removed the stock radiator overflow and washer fluid bottles and replaced them with a combination unit from a 1991 Ford Explorer, that in my opinion made a large differance. Also since my car is speed density I was able to get rid of all the air filter intake stuff and replace it with the 1000cfm Cone filter on the end of the throttle body, I also removed the charcoal canister, and that is where I ended up mounting the Exploder bottle assembly.
Future plans call for moving the battery to the trunk when I install my new 3:73 posi rear to aid in both weight transfer and removing more engine bay clutter. I am also trying to find a way to completly remove the bracket with the tensioner on the passenger side of the engine.
