Thumbs up What to keep and what to trash?

I am going single and I have looked a many post on what to keep and what to trash. Non of them have been 100% clear. My main issue right know is the rats nest. I have attached a pic of what I think I can remove and have put ? were I am not sure of removing.

I will not only be going single I will also be using the CJ Motorsports fuel kit, removing double throttle, removing the coolent hose to the throttle body, removing air pump, and EGR. This is everything that I can think of at this moment.

Please help out if you have gone do this road.

will you be still using the factory ecu? if you're going to use a standalone ecu then you can remove everything. sorry i don't know what that fuel kit that you're going to use consists of.

I have a Power FC. Of corse I will have to have the car tuned when I am done. The fuel kit comes with rails, hoses and fuel pressure regulator.

I will have a non ported engine for now. I am looking to get 400 rwhp off of pump gas (91 oct).

My car has about 5 vac lines... Let me see if I can name them:

brake booster hose
MAP sensor
Fuel pressure regulator
boost controller
oil metering bolts (1 hose with a tee fitting)
purge control

I dunno, maybe I forgot some... but you don't need most of what's there

I understand the vac lines needed. What my concern was with the rats nest. After looking at the pic in the book I was surprised on what was not needed and thought I would double check. removing the complete rats nest it is my understanding I also can do away with the 2 vac tanks that I put ? marks by.

Cool. I defiantly understand why going single is such a great idea. Lot of work and a bit pricey, but the up side is so great.
