So I have the dash completly out of my car. Taking it out I notice that there is alot of duct work there and that there is alot of vacumm line looking thinks under there attached to the plastic's removed. Am I good to remove pretty much everything under the dash with the a/c and heat delete or not? I have no clue what half of that stuff is and I don't want to be screwing things up. Like I said I had to remove the evaporator from the inside and have alot of things that I think can be deleted but not for sure! Wires everywhere and components and boxes everywhere! HELP WOULD BE GREAT AT THIS POINT! Thanks steve

My god there is so much **** under there! What about the silver looking box that is on the passenger side behind where the glove box and **** is, keep all that stuff, wires go into that stuff....So what pretty much anything that has a wire going to it keep or what???? I have a vacuum line that runs through from under that goes into the stock wiring harness, what about this crap????I broke one off so hopefully it' good to go as well. I got the air bag out and like 3 black boxes although one of the black boxes have these EGR valve looking things, what is all of this stuff, good to go to the trash or what? Like I said there is so much stuff and I don't want to start f***ing with **** that has to stay.

Along with this, How loud will the car be if I take out all of the padding from underneath the carpet. There is a bunch of rubber and tar **** that is on the firewall and the upper dash portion that follows the carpet all the way back from the looks of it. I want to remove all of it but I'm curious to how much of a noise barrier that this **** really is, input on this would be great, and fast would even be better because I'm in the process of plugging the evaperator hole and reinstalling the dash today!!!!! Thanks guys steve

^ I cut the whole black mat off of my 93. It weighs 13ish lbs. If you want any idea on how to take weight out of these cars click the 93 project link in my sig. I think I'm around 305 lbs so far of things that I've removed. That's still keeping the amenities like AC, PS, etc...

I got rid of all of my A/C and heat components, While I have the dash out I'm thinking about the carpet padding. I need to know how big of a difference it will be as far as noise, heat and all of them kind of things. I don't want it not to be worth the hassle of pulling it if my car will sound like **** ridding in it and it will be extremely hot, no A/C and it's my weekend crusier not daily!

How loud is it going to be in the car with out all of the sound deadending stuff???? I removed this from my dash, and the floor boards. As far as the carpet I had what looks like just padding under my stock carpet. there was no srcapping at all for me. It came out like a hand in a glove really. Fairly simple but now i'm leary on how loud my ride is going to be. It's not my daily but more or less a weekend cruiser, I have the cc306 cam in my forged 355 LT1. Just curious if it's going to be a pain, annoying and all of that kind of stuff. Thanks steve
