Just starting to prepare the engine for my conversion, I have the sump, M50 manifold etc, dose anyone know if I can remove any redundant parts to simplify the install and egg rid of anything not required. I have removed the A/C system and the viscous fan etc.

Any help or comments would be good.

Thanks

Cant see much more to strip off that TBH! Stat housing obviously needs changing, the only other bin item I can think of is the carbon canister on the near side of the engine, under the starter

That side is next and the side I was more interested in, I have the stat housing and water pump to replace, I basically wanted to remove anything that is not required to make the sides of the engine less cluttered. Thanks
