Cleaning up engine bay
96' F-150 5.0 4x4. It isnt't the stock truck motor, but i'm wanting to clean/tidy up the engine bay. I have the smog pump, and the charcoal filter and vacuum resivoir that's on the passenger side fender. Is there anything I can move, delete, or change to make the engine bay look better. It is mass air EFI so I obviously have a billion sensors and wires.

Smog pump can usually go, may result in a CEL. Vacuum cans, charcoal, other vacuum lines--usually problems if you pull those. They all go to something, and vacuum was used for some controls for example. The charcoal is the evap system. Again, possible CEL, and unless you remove it all and reroute the vent, you will have gas fumes in the engine compartment. If it runs good, leave it be.

it ran great even with all of that removed but ever since the headers where put on it misses underload especially in the low rpm range and uphill. But I think that's from the plug wires.. Maybe timing.
