Best mods to free up your engine bay from clutter!
Any thoughts or ideas? Of course pulling your AIR pump (since smog is a non issue) will help... and getting rid of the AC... new pulleys... but does anyone else have any other good mods? Anything that maybe makes the fluid containers a little nicer looking... perhaps a little less intrusive? Thanks

The BIGGEST single improvement for clutter was getting rid of the AC box and going with a NON ac blower box.

My IROC has no air pump, no charcoal cannister, no AC, and no heater diverter valve. The AC will go on when I get heads that have accessory holes, but everything else pretty much stays as-is.
I thought to get rid of the EGR effectively you needed new heads/headers... or can you disable it in the EPROM... thanks for the replies guys. Any ideas to clean up the fluid containers at all? I seem to recall reading that someone used a Ford Explorer windshield washer fluid setup and it cleaned things up nicely but I don't remember what year they used...
Lots of stuff!!!!
I removed the radiator overflow and washer fluid Bottles and replacing them with a single unit that has both.
i got mine from a 91 ford exploder but i believe the f-150's had em also in the late 80's to early 90's

i also removed all my emissions equipment including the charcoal canister i just put a filter on the end of the vent line.
i removed all of the a/c except as you can see in the pic for the box on the firewall which i do have a non a/c one i have to still get around to installing.
