Ya check Carl and Pratch's site (http://maz_tutorials.totalimmage.com/)? He's got a write-up and pictures for removing the rats nest.

I'm prolly gonna rip my nest out sometime next week so i dunno exactly what else you need... but i know if u run A/C u need to keep the white solonoid valve...

Read the tutorial, and if you have any questions, message Rx7Carl, since he's in here relatively often and is awesome about helping out with questions.

Then add another three bows daily to thank Carl too

Thanks for the kind words Jon.

Really that could be called emissions pt1. Theres more stuff that can come off actually. Maybe we'll do an "Advanced emissions removal" soon.

Vac advanced can also be disabled, along with the centrifugal advance so you run locked timing. You milage will suffer though. The7, what specifically do you want to ditch? Hot start assist, cold start assist can be removed. Altitude compensator can go bye bye, cap/cover any openings you uncover.
