what are the two sensor/solenoid looking thigns on the back of the pass. side strut tower? i noticed them the other day but dont know what they go to, or if they can be deleted. if it matters i have deleted my carbon canister/ and egr. also is there anything i can do about that little group of vacuum lines that look to be a group of 4 that plug together ? half of them are plugged off, and i wanted to remove it completely if possible. thanks

take all that junk and toss it in the woods. i dont really know what it is, i left it on my car and hooked it up, and i threw all my a/c, charcoal, egr, coolant, used oil, etc. on the side of the road somewhere. i will probably end up deleting it all when i get time

They are your "TAD and TAB" solenoids... there work with the smog pump so you can remove them if you've removed your smog pump. They will however cause an error code or two to be stored in your ecm but won't hurt performance or flash the check engine light at you.

It might be the EVR, here is a pic, it goes to the egr and controls the vacuum.
Here is a pic off of the car and upside down
