Stainless steel lines for fuel, oil, etc. Not only do they look good, they serve a purpose.

if you go carburated with that v8, you could get rid of almost all the wiring

yea we just swapped a 350 carb'd into my buddies 3rd gen camaro. Built motor all that good stuff putting around 360 to the wheels. I can get some extra motor mounts for you if you want, all you'll need is just a few new fuel lines and your all set

Well, here's my reply:



You can remove Power Steering, A/C.



You can re-locate the battery to the passenger rear bin.



You can replace stock intake box with aftermarket intakes.



Move and relocation IC + Radiator.



Converting to single turbo removes a lot of hoses.



If you do all of the above you'll have a lot more room, which to me not only looks great and makes changing things easier, but also eludes to one of the FD's bragging rights with having an engine pushed down and behind the front axle's. Saweet!



You obviously should and need to research each of those before doing them, but in that you'll find out how it helps.

I mean it's quite obvious what can be removed from the engine bay by simply looking into the engine bay. I mean if your already single turbo, you have already gotten rid of a bunch of stuff, you can drop PS, AC, ABS, battery to back, all the AWS and other revelant sensors and stuff like that. Just look around the engine bay and see what you want to remove.
