You should definitely do the wire mod and stuff at least. It cleans up the bay a TON
Arkansas Performance Exhaust here in Little Rock, AR did my exhaust. But if I had to choose an exhaust shop in Chattanooga, it would be Maxi Muffler on Hwy 58. Yes, it's a mainstream shop, but they did a lot of work on my old 97, great prices, great people, great welding etc.

Relocated the TCS module to behind the PCM and extended the wires, ran those wires the same route as the main wires. Relocating the hood latch was easy, I actually ran it into the engine bay under the main harness on the driver's side. Can't see the wire at all, no cutting involved. Also moved all the ground wires except what's on the front-most frame, it doesn't look good with them removed.

Can you provide more detail on relocating your TCS? I've always hated where it is in the stock location and I'd love to do that mod!

Thanks guys! the work has paid off! I won a runner up award at the F-Body Gathering.
I definitely will in the future when the motor needs to come out.
It is actually VERY simple, I was afraid to tempt it, but was bored so said what the heck. Disconnect the PCM wires, and pull out the PCM & bucket, pull everything aside. Unbolt the TCS module, and just stick it somewhere in a gap behind the PCM, and bolt the PCM back into place. The TCS doesn't need to be tied down or anything. When the PCM bolts back in, it's a tight fit, and works just fine. Then, just get some extra length of copper wire, and some crimpers and lengthen the electrical connection to the TCS module. With the wire mod, it was very easy to hide everything.
Also my newest mod to the engine bay. Braided fuel line and fittings.. Was initially an appearance only mod, but after learning my stock fuel line was kinked badly in 3 places, causing a loss of power above 5500 RPMs, it is also a functional mod.
I need to get a full engine bay shot all cleaned up after this.
