Simplifying the engine bay

JShiz · 04-12-2010, 03:31 PM

I've been on a mission on cleaning up my car and making it a little bit nicer/cleaner. I'm finally gonna start screwing around with my engine bay. I searched around but I couldn't really find much...

I have a 1985 GSL-SE and I was wondering which stuff I can pitch out and what stuff I actually should keep. I don't have to worry about emissions and I'm gonna ditch the air pump once I buy some new headers and delete the cats. My Car doesn't have power steering. My AC has been fried since before I got the car so that's coming out. I'm going to relocate my battery some where else. I'm have my hands on an e fan so my clutch fan is coming out. I seen a few threads about the charcoal canister and I'm still on the fence about pitching that. After I get those Items removed I'm going to replace all the hoses, washers, etc since I have a leak somewhere... Then I'm going to go to town with degreaser and paint my radiator shroud.

Is there anything else worth pitching (I'm doing this for the sake of simplicity and the clean look)? Or Any vacuum lines I can delete?
