I recently took out my air pump because obviously with no emissions testing in Salem i have no use for it, and i heard the AC pump can be taken out to clean up the engine bay, so i was curious, what else can i tear out of there to clean up the engine bay and keep the car running nice and smooth still?
My AC doesnt work anyway to i might as well take it out, just extra work for my engine to spin that pump, and its just getting in the way right now, made it harder for me to mount my 2gdfis

 

i hope you didnt remove the air pump if you still have your original catylitic converters...

 

I never had a problem mounting up my 2nd Gen ignition setup on my SE. Just mount it onto the back end of the strut tower mount. There are existing holes there from relays (just move the relays to be nestled next to the others on the side of the engine bay (under the hose in the picture) that you can mount it to.

 

You can also mount the coil set up on the shock tower closest to the battery.

 

Actually, doc, I found there to be no room for that, as that's where stock coils were sitting. Unless someone moved their's to another location.

 

There is plenty of room there as that is where I had mine mounted on my SE.

 

I think it's because my stock fuse links are in the way, I can't mount my coil pack there. With the stock coils also sitting so far away from them, I had no space.

 

You move your fuses to the tower side facing the engine then mount the coil right where I stated.
:-)

 

that was my plan but i didnt splice enough wire for that. i got it go fit behing the ac pump with a little bracket.

and about the cat question, i no longer have any cats, and my header came with the block of plate and everything so its all good

 

i was going to do this as well but for some reason didnt, i might move mine there, thanks Doc!

 

here's where i mounted my coil pack:
