With the way the Cobra engine retains heat from it's steel block I would suggest keep the AC. The EGR delete is a good one. Also, there is a write up somewhere that I'll have to find that shows you how to hide a lot of the wiring on the drivier's side of the blower.

ya im hiding all the wiring on this car! the engine bay is going to be pretty much all smooth and cleaned, My fox is stripped to a bare shell (kind of like in the sig pic) and im making plates and welding up all the wholes
But if you have any more info that would be great!
As far as the a/c goes, im going to try and make it work, but if it doesnt it doesnt, So many things i have to do in this swap its a little overwellming

What? How is that going to help? If anything, the AC condenser blocks air flow to the radiator, making it LESS efficient!

Exactly what I was saying. Probably didn't word it well.

He was talking about driving around town in his old 5.0 with no AC and that it would get quite warm. I suggested keeping his AC for that reason. The AC on our cars do not effect performance enough to delete them. As for the block, try driving in the city in stop and go traffic on a 90* day with the AC off. You'll know what I'm talking about regarding the steel block.

Cool. Just a misunderstanding, lol...

I live in Phoenix, AZ where it can get over 120 degrees out in the summer. So trust me, I will NEVER remove my AC! lol
