What Can I Take Off Before Motor Arrives
87 t2. Motor is being sent to Rotary Ressurection this is the engine build:
13b Shortblock Rebuild
Mild Street Port
Staying with 2mm Apex Seals
ALL EMMISIONS REMOVED(except ps/ac)
The question: What can I remove and is no longer neccisary in the engine bay before the engine comes back. Remember all emmisions are going to be removed I want to know everything I can take out of the engine bay to clear it up and another one, what plugs if any are not going to be hooked up from the stock harness to the rebuilt?

I can't speak for the turbo specifically, but from a S4 NA, a short list of things that can be chucked:
Air pump muffler: This goes to the front, off the ACV, and is useless without the ACV. Maybe 1-2 lbs.
You won't need the plugs that go to the vacuum rack if you're removing that - I'm not sure how this works on the turbo though. You might have important things controlled from that rack. The NA just has EGR, ACV, and a few other things. Note that this will remove the charcoal canister purge - so either rig something up, or deal with the free venting of gas vapors.
I think that's about it. The rest of the stuff is going to be on the block (ACV, EGR, etc).

alright thats a start. On the upper right fender(passanger) in the engine bay. Youve got boost box or something, and close to the headlight is another computer looks like big heat sink IM not sure how much stuff will be unplugged.
Im going to start a new post about the FC1000 from Jacobs Electronics. Cause rx7.com sells these I dont know if you need 1 or 2. Like to get rid of all the coils and such.

Nurse I need 1300cc's NOW
i think the heat sink box your talking about is the fuel pump relay and resistor. i wouldnt remove that. and the boost sensor you dont want to remove either. The only things i can think of off hand is the cats, air muffler, air pump. Unless you wanna remove ps and ac . thats about it . I just degreased the crap of the engine bay.
