need help stripping engine bay

So am at the point in my project where I need to strip the engine so I can sand, primer and paint. Anyone have a method on how to put everything back where it go's. I've never had to do this before so it will the first time. Here a pic of my engine bay.

Grab a digital camera and take LOTS of pics. Up close so you can see what goes where. Some of the stuff will be obvious, the brake booster and master cylinder. Its the routing of the lines where you will have issues. The pics that you posted is even a good start for an overview of what goes where. Take your time and take pics as your taking stuff off. Should not be too hard. Just curious, RX2?

Great advise blackdbl0si…

I would also add to get lots of plastic ziplock bags and label all the little bits, pieces, screws and bolts. There are way too many little pieces to remember where it all goes.
