I wish you told me (the forum) you did not even have a map to drive the car. I could have sent you one.

I almost forgot your first question...

Wire tuck the main harness that routes to the front of the car.

I am getting a Relay block to make it so my wiring is a little bit less of a mess.

Going to create a board that is going to hold all my fues, relays, and ECU that fits under the dash. (no heater core = loads of room)

Removing all the heater controls, by creating a new front panel... (already lined up a local Audio shop thats going to teach me and help me build it, I just have to pay mats)

I found a kick *** relay/switch company and im going to implement that into the new front panel.

Your link didn't seem to work for me, but I'm assuming it was to a T-bolt clamp? The additional benefit is they apply and hold tension much much better than the worm drive clamps.

^ They are not t-bolt clamps, they are worm drive clamps that do not have the worm gear slots go all the way through the metal, instead the gear slots are embossed into the metal.

If you're going to replace them, you might as well go T-bolt if you as me.

I agree for larger hoses, but these hoses are like 1/2" in dia. I don't think they make t-bolt clamps that small. The smallest I could find in a real quick Google search is 1.5".

My bad, I assumed we were talking about intercooler piping. Reading comprehension fail.
