Exclamation Making engine bay cleaner

I am putting a b18b1 in my engine. So at the moment my car doesnt have a engine in it.

What can I remove from my engine bay that I do not need.

I want to shoot for this.

lots of wire tucking... but that will require the motor in it tho.... but what are you looking to use the car for? you could always take off the washer fluid resovior, relocate the battery, relocate the fuse box, tuck the coolant resovior, etc... if its daily driver, its kinda hard to remove too many things, cus most your gonna want.

Take out all the A/C system, remove power steering. A wire tuck takes lots of time.

Make sure there is no freeon in the system, because if there is, your not going to like the smell of it, as it's not good to breath in or for the earth. Plus it's under high pressure.

just check your engine bay for a compressor, its easy to find. my 93 rs does. honestly tho, even with ac gone, the engine bay would really lock all that diff. if you want something like in the pic, it takes time. if good things were easy to do, everyone would do them and that wouldnt make then all that special anymore. this is something that if your gonna do it, spend some good time on it, it will be well worth it. wire tucking isnt too crazy. i did it on my b16 swapped ef. i tucked a bit of the electrical. no ac or ps but thats cus of the swap, relocated my battery to under passenger dash lol, and sort of tucked my clutch cable too. it took time but looked nice .

It sucks. before the winter, when my engine was out. I sprayed it with gunk cleaner. But i used a regular hose so wash it out. my power washer doesnt work. and now it works, but the water line is closed and i dont wanna open it because ill crack a pipe in the house.

run a hose from your bathrrom sink or something and even use hot water, but watch you dont over heat the pressure washer if its not one thats made for hot water lol. i have a magazine on doing a crazy wire tuck. they even tuck the brake booster and master cylinder lol. i could give it too you at court on the 22nd lmao, or see if i can find the web version of it. its a "project car" magazine.

cant find it online, ill just give you the mag at some point, court probabvly lol
