FL What can we throw away

I have a build going, and have finally gotten to the point of wiring the engine. It's not a rotary, but I will be using the stock fuel system.

after this thing being torn apart a couple years and the wires I did mark are blurred, it's hard to tell whats what. and I have a few relays/boxes/plug in I need to figure out what they are.

What can we throw away when we're not using the standard 12A or care about smog emission, power steering etc. I see some build with clean engine bays where most of this harness and pieces are obviously not used.

What goes in the trash?

As you can tell we aren't too keen on non-rotary swaps. There is a section on here for this that
should yield much better responses for you.

True, 12A's make better just about anything than a boinger.

But instead of throwing your boinger in the trash, you might want to look into recycling it.

They weigh a ton.

that depends on the engine you are trying to install, and since we don't know that, how would any of us know?
