input wanted!!!!
ok so like most of you know, my tranny is shot..
sooooo, i'm pulling the whole motor out since i finally have a garage, and i'm gonna do some touch up work on the motor. such as cleaning off the axel grease on the back-side of my block, repaint the block, polish up my coolant pipe, make a test pipe for the exhaust, paint my engine bay black, and block off some stuff such as my egr. I'm also gonna do a full power steering delete. I know i should delete the ac while i'm in there but i'm not gonna be boosting anytime some and ac is awesome for when it rains.
i'm just asking for some input as to if theres anything else that can be done that can possibly benefit, help clean up the look of the motor, or anything? anything i can take off and block other then my egr? any suggestions and input would be nice. I've come to know and become friends with alot of you so i'll trust your word and appriciate it

Please dont paint your head..i think its so ugly when people do that. And when you have it out check your wiring and if some look ugly do some re-wrapping. Just a pretty suggestion i guess lol.

repaint the engine bay! I wish I had the time to do mine when the motor was out.
And if you want to delete the power steering you should look into modifying the rack. I think you can do something like take out a couple of restrictions inside it to make it easier to turn. Search tuners for 2g manual rack..there is a good thread about modifying it.
