For the third time: DO YOU NEED TO PASS EMISSIONS?

What you can take out is dependent upon that factor.

ok you can
1) cold start assist
2) the cold start assost fuild tank/all the hoses for the tank
3) cold start assist solinoid
4)acv/ then you have to remove your cats..
5)all vac lines exept for 8( 1 to each oil injector, one to the middle of the injectors on the lower manifold, and one to the 2ndary fuel rail, the one that goes form the pressure senor to the manilfold, and the one that goes for the tid to the manifold.)
4)charcol canister, and piping, just cap off lines.
5)relocate battery
6) all a/c parts
7)air pump

i might have missed something but thats a good start.

Joe, you forgot the vac, line to the BOV! Unless your gonna tee it from the line to the press sensor(that you dont have!!).
Ill add

1. thermowax
2. power steering
3. dashpot (if willing to do so)
4. fanshroud(if you go w? elec. fan)
5. the bolts that held the items Joe mentioned!
6. Air box and snorkel(requires cone filter)
7. The wire conectors to the crap you removed

Thats all I got.

You sure you want to remove the Charcoal Canister? Your looking for more headaches removing It especially capping It off.

If you are ditching the A/C you can pull the BAC off too, and if you've remeoved the themowax system the collant line on the block, and the one on the back of the water pump neck can both be capped off.

You can also pull off the windshield whippers and motors...
