I have a 94 f250 with a 460 auto the engine bay to me has alot of junk in it. Theres hose's every were. Any one ever cleaned this up? any pics? can you get rid of the air pump?(have no cat any way) thanks

 

I'm not very familiar with 94's, but what I'd suggest is find out what hoses are leading where and then see what you can do about rerouting them. If you bought it used then it's possible someone replaced them and didn't bother to route them the way they were originally.

As for the air pump, it depends. If you don't have a cat then it's not doing you any good, but if you have emissions inspections in your state then I'd leave it there for appearances. You can gut the pump and keep the shell so it's there for appearances but also so you don't have to hassle with finding a different belt.

 

I don't know why every so often someone wants to "clean up" the engine bay, by removing components. I say just leave it alone.

Now, if what DBGrif said is the case the definitely reroute things to the proper location.

 

I really don't get it either,,, I'm wondering if the drive around with the hood up so all the world can see the wonderful job they have done on the "clean-up"

 

Yeah, I see it the same way. Besides the attempted clean up could cause problems anyway.

 

It makes it look a wholelot nicer under there and also its easier to work on with all the junk removed.

 

two words... car/truck show

Plus nothing wrong with a nice looking trucke inside and out.

 

Sir, I'd say that if these items that you want to move or clean up are all functioning, them leave them be. Next thing you'll be asking why your truck doesn't run properly.

I completely understand the whole car/truck show comment. I take my Mustang to those type of things. I just don't think I would remove all that stuff from a truck that is running good. Most of the time it causes problems.
