Refresh my memory...what can I remove to declutter my engine bay? My 96 Trans Am is all stock short of a k&n "cold air" intake. I want to free up as much room as possible so maintenance can be fairly simple. What all is safe to remove. I don't want to go nuts like my old build on the Z28 but would like to get rid of any emission stuff and any useless garbage. I do want to keep the heat for sure, possibly the ac? Looking at the engine bay it doesn't resemble the lt1 I was used to working on! Don't even know where to start and don't want to strip everything out short of the block this time

Fuel line relocation (speed inc used to make a kit, I can't get them to answer me if they still will-it's not on their new website)
AIR pump and EGR delete
smooth elbow looks nice/less cluttered IMO
obviously AC delete
get "offroad race" headers (no EGR stacks)
traction control box is fugly (if the car has it)
ABS Block can be removed/deleted if you'd want
You could go with a speed density tune and get rid of the MAF
Wire tuck on the passenger side strut tower is easy
Battery relocation is an option
