Default Engine Bay Clutter

Is it just me, or are the engine bays on LS1 F-Bodies cluttered. What are some ways to decrease the clutter and add some spruce to the engine without a lot of in depth work. Like maybe relocating PCM wires, paint, etc. And I'm on a tight budget too.
Thanks
Ryan

Ousting your EGR and AIR will certainly get rid of a lot of clutter. Check out my website, I have one picture with my EGR and AIR still in, and a couple pictures without. Bought the blockoff plates from a guy on this site: Mighty Mouse deezuns@attbi.com for $14.50 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> He shipped them out a day after I paypal'd him

This site also has a good description on how to remove the components

Andy, when you relocated the grounding wires, did you use existing holes for all of them of did you drill the holes?
