You can run electric fans and ditch the stock fan and shroud. You could also run a small filter on the "T" from your valve cover going to the intake. On the other end remove the stock baffle and just run a heater hose down to the block. If you don't care, remove everything AC related. I remember my old setup was 100 times easier to work on than my other friends cause it was tidy and I had so much room.

to clean the engine bay, Brake cleaner is the best. but, try not to go way too over-board w./ it unless you want bare metal;)

DO NOT USE A "T" with a filter...that is supposed to vent the oil vapors that become combustable and unstable under high heat.....this is wrong....keep the hose going to that intake, or suffer the consequences
