make sure to get the FSM from the link that misterstyx69 provided. it will probably be a great help to you.

I will assume from the title of the thread and the photos that you literally mean you want someone to tell you what's missing from the engine bay? i'll do what I can, but I doubt i'll be able to get everything. will likely be an arduous process.

in terms of getting it started/running, so far, of major note:
- both ignition coils
- vacuum lines

other:
- A/C compressor
- sub zero coolant reservoir (though there's no point in the hassle of replacing it)
- charcoal canister lines

i'm guessing from the weird snorkel on the air filter canister that someone before you fashioned some sort of "cold air intake" between that and the gaping hole on the side of the passenger side radiator support shroud. that's my guess .... it would also explain the relocation of the overflow container.

I like it..just enough guys to get basic info from and then the member can move into the main section!

my advice would be to get in the Gen I section and start collecting whatever photos you can get of stock FB engine bays.
