You're kidding right? Everything in the engine serves a purpose to make your car run... This project is going to get you in WAY over your head I can tell - don't bother with it.

Well ill try and give you a better answer.

You can relocate your battery, Fuse block,, Your power steering resiviour with alot of work, your coolant bottle, Most of the wiring you can route through the fenders, But its a big job.

You can also look into a slimline brake booster and lowprofile or limited access Master cylinder. You can find them available from Hotrod shops, Sunmmit racing, and jegs.

ill take a look and see what else can be done.
