Default removal and relocation of engine bay parts

i just did an H22A swap into my CL (like a 5th gen Accord) and i want to remove certain parts and relocate some accessories aswell. i need some advice though. im not sure on what i want to relocate or remove the first. i either want to start with relocating the fuse box, relocate the battery to the trunk, hide the headlight harness', or removing the ABS. i already had my power steering removed, but would like to remove more.

here are just a few pictures of what im working with. hopefully some accord guys could chime in and give me some advice.






im not going for the xtreme engine bay tucks, i just want it to look more presentable.

So, remiving your PS means taking the pump and reservoir out?
Sweet....

If you're going that far, get rid of the AC. If you don, do yourself a favor and put the PS back in...

You need to do some reading on wire tucking if you can't figure this out on your own.

you should really finish removing the lines for the PS that goes to the resoiver & pump then first..& then go from there.

hey im doin the same thing wit my wiring tuckin..
1)alot of people recommended that the battery goes in the trunk.
2)fuse box goes under the glove box or in the center console.
3)all the wiring wrap em ova wit electrical tape and stick em inside the fender..
for all the vaccum hoses, i think u might hav to get a long piece of strip at auto part or any auto store and re-do the hoses..

yea im gonna remove that main power steering line.

and yea ive decided that relocating the battery to the trunk and hiding the coolant resvoir is what ill do first.

if theres a DIY around, that would make things easier.
