Get rid of all your accessories minus an alternator... All air conditioning components are missing, other then that they do still have the ABS stuff. All those accessories gone from up top makes it look quite a bit less cluttered...

No delete pulleys needed.

Install a race waterpump, remove AC, powersteering, and idler pulley, then relocate the tensioner down around the alternator

This is mine did wire mod and same mod on the hood cable. Removed cruise control, airconditioner, power steering, airpump, added Odysey battery, aftermarket lid, polished valve covers, MAF, TB, belt tensioner, relocated grounds from view on wheel wells and from on each side of the radiator support under the lid filled in the holes. I am sure there is more PM me if you need any questions answered on how to. Oh yea repainted under the hood as well.
