Like this?

A few people have. Coomer - the owner of 6GC did the work you see in the picture above. It was my DD for a while. Had a lot of problems with the car that stemmed from the vac line deletes, power steering delete, wire harness tuck, etc.

yes thats exactly what im wanting. how can i find out where he got all his stuff if you look in my pics you will see what im starting with.

He did it all on his own. Nothing for these cars is "off the shelf".

He unwrapped and re-loomed the harness to tuck wires, capped off pretty much everything that wasn't required for the car to run properly (this can be argued, but it ran nonetheless).


Buy a battery relocation kit and put that in the trunk. That will get you started. For my V6 in my MR2 I found tucking the vac lines and harness was easier to do with the engine on a stand in my garage, so you can work around the back side of the motor. A lot of junk will be hidden low on the firewall behind the motor.

Since you probably can't pull the motor for this project, go buy some bulk vac line from an auto parts store and re-run lines in an area where they are less visible. If you don't know what you're doing make sure you do this ONE LINE AT A TIME so as to not get them mixed up. As I recall, most of the junk on the passenger side of the engine bay can be relocated without much issue. There are a handful of threads on this forum that discuss tucking the engine bay. Have a look around.
