Default Removing unwanted stuff under hood '90 Renix.

I guess this should be directed to Cruiser54 as he is our resident Renix guru, but I want to remove every piece of unnecessary pipe, hose, wire connection whatever from underneath the hood. I need to make room so I can relocate what I have to have to operate and cut out wheel well to clear tires.
So far I have relocated the air filter to under the cowl, remover the vacuum assist to the CAD axle. Relocated half of the Vacuum ball and only has one hose attached. Removed the A/C and relocated the alternator.
Plans include adding a fuel cell and removing the evap housing and moving battery to back. I would like to keep the heater and I think that one hose to the vacuum ball controls the vents.
Open to all suggestion no matter how small.

I wish I had photos of my 89 that I removed a bunch of the excess crap from. As I recall, we were able to plumb a lot of the vac lines into each other, and definitely plug and unhook the egr. Mine ran a lot better with that pesky thing out of the loop. Just do a better job of removing the evap system. Mine was semi sketchy and just vented it down the firewall with a long piece of hose with a filter on the end.
