Cleaned and degreased engine bay, looks so much better clean! After I get everything removed I will be painting the engine bay flat black.
The harness on the drivers side needs to stay there, and unfortunately so does the A/C system on the passenger side, its pressurized so if I take it off 3 gallons of freon will go up into the air...
Removed the 4cyl's small brake booster.
If you ever have to remove the brake booster, all I have to say is good luck, and hope you have flexible arms.
