Under Hood Parts Delete
I am looking to delete as much useless stuff out of my engine bay as much as possible. I do not care for the A/C and things like the vacuum canister and the silver cylinder on the passenger side of the engine bay... can i get rid of those?
I see a head gasket repair in my future and I want as little in the way as possible. Thanks!

Re: Under Hood Parts Delete
Depends upon the use of your car.
I belive in the body section, there is a "weight reduction" thread which you can get into.
AC
Smog
Power steering
charcole canister
cruise control
relocate battey to rear of car
electric water pump
wiper motor/linkage
list can keep on going if you wish

Re: Under Hood Parts Delete
if youre looking at a head gasket replace, and you wanna delete whatever you can..... it depends on your climate as well as what state you live in. in a perfect world you can get rid of your heater hoses, EGR, AIR, A/C. all those will get in your way. the charcoal canister wont really cause any problems other than 2 vacuum lines that take 2 seconds to pull off. the rest that Dale mentioned is all up to you if you wanna live w/o P/S, spend the money on an electric waterpump (and can find a way to delete the current system) and if you never drive your car in the rain or dont mind a dirty windshield occasionally.
