Smile Clean out the engine bay

I have some issues about how many things we can take out from our engine bay even though I have a N/a. I know we can take out the a/c and power steering but I want to keep those. So what else is not important that I can take out from the engine bay and still have no affects on the car performance and usuage. thanks.

you cant take out anything, you need it for emissions and smog. i think the only thing you can take out is sub tank, p/s, ac, and the stock fan if you use an electrical one.

the sub zero start assist system is one of the only things that meets your criteria.

But lets get more info, how much more room do you need? I mean what are you trying to fit under the hood that you need more space for?

Pretty much any engine component you remove will affect the way the car performs and/or is able to be used. What's your reason for wanting to remove whatever you can? Are you a racer who needs the ultimate weight reduction or a show car thats gonna have hidden wires and stuff?
