EGR and AIR systems can go if you have them. Don't forget to get the computer tuned for this so you aren't throwing codes.

when pulling stuff off the car, i've got the condensor hanging out by a tube. the tube runs all the way back to the passenger side firewall into a box. do i need any of this? what does it do?

You could move the battery into the hatch area if you want to.

there's always fuel rail covers, or braided steel hose, that tends to make an engine bay look "clean", IMO.
