Default What can I get rid of?

I have no A/C or smog stuff so I'd like to get rid of as much clutter as possible. What Stuff can I rip out of hte engine bay to try to clean it up?

Cover any holes in the bay that arent being used after moving the wires.

well I decided to just go with you guys and I've started a wire tuck and hole fill project. So far I have the drivers side fender half way off and the battery tray out haha. What's still holdin that fender up is 1 nut that's rounded off and I can't get off, and a stripped phillips head that I can't get out.

It's late so I didn't really look much, but is there somewhere I cna put the harness that runs along the top of the firewall? Is there a way to put that inside the cowling where the windshielp wiper stuff is? I wan everything I can hide hidded. Pretty much the only wires I want u to be able to see is sparkplug wires. The rest I'm gonna try to have in the fenderwells. I'm goin to bed cuz I'm beat but I'll poke around more in there tomorrow and see what I can figure out.

A hamster hooked to a couple nitrous bottles will solve that problem. Light weight, less clutter, and parts are plentiful.
