It really all depends on how far you want to go. You could tuck your wiring behind your fenders, remove the charcoal canister and the 4 vacuum lines going to the bottom of the tb (gotta plug them up), you can relocate your battery, remove the windshield washing fluid container, egr junk..... it all depends on how much you're willing to get rid of.

There should be several threads floating around here on how to properly remove emissions stuff.

I removed a lot of junk when I put all my KA-t stuff in....still dirty as hell though!

thanks, i knew that charcoal canister could be removed along with the battery relocation but as for everything else well...let the thread searching begin!!

I removed the stock clutch fan and shroud around the radiator. It gave me a TON of room. I've been using a 14" Zirgo fan, and my car just refused to overheat in the summer while it was NA....and you better believe I beat the living hell out of it, lol.

2 weeks and that zirgo is mine...is it a difficult install?

Nat at all. At first, I was an idiot and bought the 16" thinking I could fit it...but, boy was I wrong. The 14" clears fine and I currently run mine off of a relay so that it is always on. The biggest PITA was removing the fan shroud around the radiator.

Once you get rid of the random vacuum lines, fan and shroud, and random intake junk......you'll have a LOT of room to play with.

A lot of people don't use power steering either. That would clear up some room for sure.

You can remove your AC if you dont use it. the AC asembley weighs like 50 lbs.

Do not use zip ties. The rest is pretty obvious..
