Why do we throw shit out? Weight reduction, cleaner engine bay, and easier work environment to name a few.
This thread is to discuss what we have removed. Pics, questions, advice, etc. Anything involving cleaning up that engine bay. Maybe you relocated something you would like to share. Pics are great.
In my talon, I have deleted emmisions (all vacuum lines and then added caps), charcoal canister, egr (made my own egr block off plate), and the three solenoids located on the driver side firewall.
Ac was also removed a long time ago. AC compressor, condensor, and all AC lines in the engine bay. I chose to keep the ac fuse box. Why? Because this way i can turn on the AC fan by pushing the ac button. I like having the extra fan for cooling purposes. Imo, much cleaner look than wiring the fan to an ugly toggle switch that doesnt look like it belongs in the car.
Next, i wanted to delete the abs and cruise control as well as relocating the battery to the rear.We all know that under our hoods and between our fenders, there is some pretty useless and bulky parts.

I plan on making a tech article about what all we can remove to make the engine bay look cleaner. Here is a few suggestions.
Delete emissions
Replace air canister with a filter
Remove AC
Install non cruise control cable
Delete ABS
Saturn alternator swap
Delete power steering
Aftermarket intake pipe
Switch to speed density, remove intake pipe, and put cone filter directly on the turbo.
Relocate coil pack
Relocate battery
Relocate coolant overflow
Remove windshield washer fluid resivor and lines
Delete un-needed solenoids on the firewall
Relocate things that are on the firewall, lower onto the firewall
Put a breather on the valve cover and remove the vacuum line
FMIC and hard pipes
Aftermarket aluminum radiator
Relocate fuse box
Slim radiator fans
Lets get some more suggestions!
