i would not randomly remove stuff. some of it is for a/c, and some for emissions. pics would really help (i know you dont have any). just be thoughtful about what you remove.

The only lines i can think of off the top of my head that are on the firewall under the passenger side hood hinge are the vaccum lines for the climate control wich is important. And the brake lines which are VERY important. The only lines on that side that can be tossed and not missed are the two vaccum lines for your smog pump, but those connect on the passenger side strut tower.

probably air hoses for smog pump going to the cats... if you have an off-road pipe, you can take out tha pump and tha lines
