ABS is another one, I think can go (?). Also, Traction control if you have it. Dont forget the EVAP which kind of goes along with the fuel line changes if you choose to ditch it.

Hey I would contact Larry at Speed Inc. about the alternator relocate kit. He has a couple different styles and they are real nice.

yeh..it's not for everyone as I mentioned. The kit has a lot of time and cost into the materials used.
