clean up the engine bay

My engine bay is a mess and I do not like the fact there is wires and hoses everywhere. My a/c doesn't work in the car and the smog pumps off the car I would really only like to see the power steering and cap and wires in the bay. Does anyone know of a good kit for under drive pulley kits with deletes to just clean up the engine a bit and make the motor flow more freely? Thanks I appreciate the help.

I would stay away from underdrives myself. Summit sells an alternator bracket and turn buckle adjuster. With that get the A/C delete bracket and bolt kit from Late Model Restorations. You will need a shorter belt but the engine bay will look much cleaner and emptier. Just relocating the power steering to the A/C area and the alt bracket and turnbuckle will make a very large difference. Then you can tuck some wires behind the fender wells.

You can tuck basically all the wires in the engine bay and hide everything but its a big hassle. I tucked mine and wish I hadn't. It's just a pain working on the car if you have to check a fuse or something easy. If its not a show car leave it alone. IMHO

That is a lot of work - I would just leave it the way it is unless it's a show car. Things are easier to troubleshoot when they are out in the open.
