Engine bay is coming along nicely. Nothing flashy or showy but alot has changed in just a year.
You can actually see a motor now!!!
I still have to clean up that left corner and start rerouting some wires.
This time last year:

Damn!!! I totally missed the power steering delete. That is definintely cool and frees up even more room. I remove more AC system a few months ago and don't regret it at all. Mines not a daily driver so it's not a problem. Any write ups on removing the power steering??

You still driving the car around town? Thing sounds mint.

parbreak: removing the power steering is easy. All you need is a ratcheting wrench to remove the resvoir. If you don't comlpetly drain the rack you'll have to loop the inlet and outlet lines so the fluid can circulate. You can just hose clamp them if you want but I went the nice way and picked up some -6an line, hose ends and some -6an metric adapters for the rack, I believe they where 16x6 and 14x6.

Nope no manual rack. It's really simple, just pull the resvoir out, connect the two resvoir lines at the rack, and your done.
The line lock set up is a combo of SLP, SJM, and my own. I would suggest a full kit from SJM.
Here's a pic of it.
