Default What can u remove from under the hood?

What are some things you can remove from under the hood that take up space that you don'r really need. I want a clean and tide area underthere.I still need all the emissions parts for the drive clean test.
I have a 1989 GT
Another thing how hard it it to remove the AC from the car I know this is a huge space taker

You can remove the engine, I've found it takes up the most room under the hood.

But seriously you can remove the ac, hide the wires, solinoids, and other little things that sit in the engine bay behind the fender. When removing the ac make sure its discharged, one side is under very high pressure and you don't want to get sprayed in the eyes.

Ok I see you replace the powerstearing unit with a pully and more the PS unit where the AC unit was and use the same belt. That looks that i am going to do. This will remove a crap loat of extra stuff.

Thank you

If you buy the ford racing A/C eliminator kit that moves the PS pump, then you will need a shorter belt. I still have the smog pump on my car aswell. I'll get you the belt number from my swap and you can start there.

BTW, the kit is super easy install if all your bolts arent rusted or seized up.
