Default engine bay part removal?

What else is there to remove from the engine bay besides the standard air con, cruise control, power steering, and intake resonator? Kind of a noob question but was wondering.

ABS doesn't make you stop faster it allows you to control the car in a skid.

you don't have to change your axles, when you need to replace them though the non abs ones are cheaper. and there is no power gain

sorry, didn't mean to confuse you.

There are abs axles and non abs axles. Only Abs cars need abs axles. other than that they're interchangeable.

if you need new axles, as you say, you can buy the NON-abs ones, if you remove the abs system.

non abs axles are cheaper.
