Cleaning up engine bay, just need some pointers.
 

Im going to be cleaning up the engine bay, while the engine is out. I have an 88 t2 and am going to be running microtech. I did a search but could not come up with anything. I basically want to get rid of anything not needed in there and simplify as well as paint it. I will be posting pics on my build up. All suggestions are welcomed and thanks everyone in advance for input.

throw out the a/c thats y u got windows and the power steering electric fan air pump and that will clear up alooooot of space dont use cheap paint in the bay bcs oil and break fluid will eat right through it idk what to tell ya not to much to it just the little things make it look clean like tie wrapn the wires and stuff

you can get rid of anything that the factory harness would plug into...

Are you talking emission? im still going the need to harness, correct, with the microtech?

haha yeah im getting rid of the ac. i dont think the ps is going anywhere, im going to be running big tires at the front. i dont know how hard it will . im using engine paint for the engine bay.

Hey does anyone know where i could get a carbon fiber sunroof panel? i want to get rid of it but would really like something nice up there to cover it. i remember seeing it awhile ago, but i cant seem to find it.

You will need to fillet the harness open to 1) retreive the windshield wiper motor, 2) coolant temperture sensor and 3) alternator wires. This Is easily done as the wires seperate quite easy from the others.

Is that really all you need to keep? Ive seen alot of engine bays that are super empty. I guess thats how. I was planning on just removing the air pump and p/s and some other small junk, but knowing that, I might take out some more

hell i went over board.
