I'd like to start cleaning up my engine bay. I drive the stallion everyday, so im not sure what would be safe to delete.



See anything I could get rid of?

You can hide the starter solenoid/wiring in fender. Get a anderson power pipe and put the big honking air filter in the fender. Battery in trunk or what im gonna do get mini race battery. You can ditch the ac and all smog crap. I also hid the main harness down low behind engine and under booster.

Well, everything has a purpose, so deleting stuff may have consequences. So choose carefully what you remove

its actually pretty clean as is, maybe get some black wire loom to cover some of the misc wires you got. Or get crazy and pull the motor and go all out

If you look there should be an old thread about cleaning up the engine bay, I know because I was considering doing the same thing a while back. You could actually hide a majority of the wires in the fenders if you're going to put the starter solenoid and maf air in the fender too.
