So I finally disconnected the cruise control but now I have a CEL because of the sensors I unpluged. Is there a way to get rid of this CEL, would reseting the ECU do it??
So anywho here is some before and after pics"

AFTER:
I will still be moving some of the sensor wires and more cleaning up. It definately opened the engine bay up a ton and made it alot easier to change my alternator belt

Well I just reset the ECU and the didn't get rid of the CEL. To answer your question jeg I took off the vaccume lines and put caps on the places the tubes were connected to the intake manifold, and I just have all the sensors unplugged and hangin there since I took out the cruse control so there is nothing to plug them into. So what should I do now???
When I did this, I drove around with the CC still attached and the harness unplugged for a week to make sure I didn't throw a CEL by having it unplugged. No CEL.
I removed the CC and left the cable, but just hid the cable and the plug. Your car should be fine, I don't see why you would have a CEL from that. Maybe a vacuum leak.

So has anyone relocted their fuse box or powersteering resvoir. I was considering doing both. I have a friend who is good with wiring and said we could extend all the wires that go to the fuse bix and relocate it somewhere else. I was think maybe in the car under the dash somewhere. Adn the powersteering resevoir would be easy he said.

There's nowhere feasable. Trust me. Best thing is pull the front bumper and stick it up under there. Basically, left hand side where a CAI filter would sit, or up under the rad support. Then you only extend the wires like 18" if that, and you don't have to pull it all back inside the car.
I was looking into that. But I was thinking I might not have to do any extending(possibly) if I brought it back into the car.
Just getting started. So far I've removed the washer bottle reservoir, wiper motor, and relocated the diagnosis box behind the battery. Also recently painted the valve cover wrinkle black with polished letters.

I am going to wire tuck mine when I take some time off work. Crazy busy right now lol. I would like to remove cruise control, as well as move p/s reservoir, lines, rad reservoir and am removing AC to make room for 2nd alt upgrade. Does anyone have any how to's on moving the reservoirs and how to relocate the power steering lines... Could I just get some AN fittings and SS Lines to reroute? or better yet use current lines but route behind p/s pump then down so they are minimally visible?
