you ought to learn the names of the stuff you refer to. some of it you could, some you can't if you want to have heat, and there is a chance the car won't start or run if you get rid of some of it. what stuff you talking about here, is it the hoses and wires and stuff?

Most of that "junk" is emissions related. I relocated most of it in the engine bay, so you can see both valve covers now. I mounted the AIR stuff lower in the engine bay and the coolent valve was moved near the blower motor. I have no AC so the engine bay looks clean now.

There are 2 rather thick hoses that run to the firewall, which you will need for heat.
