Default Help... Engine compartment pics needed.

Can anyone please send me pics of their stock (unmolested) engine compartment. I am restoring an 85 GT convertible and could use some photos to reference for part location and placement.

This would be a huge help.

Thanks guys

Wish I had some to give but I modified my 85 to the max and got rid of all the unwanted crap like emmissions but the 85 is my favorite and can pretty much remember where most of the stuff goes and needs as I've workrd on many 85's

All the emissions is gone, but this is correct except the fuel pressure gage. Best photos I have, sorry if they don't help.
