Default Newbie here - Help me unclutter my engine bay!!

Hey,

I'm fairly new to the whole honda tuning scene and bought my first boosted EF a few weeks ago after selling my EG B16A2 swapped coupe. I'm a fairly meticulous person and I like things clean and orderly. The car was a very good deal, so I figured I'd buy it and put some work into it.

I've been going through the engine bay wiring and interior (under dash wiring) and I've already pulled out a whole bag full of terrible alarm, HID, and unnecessary stereo wiring. Most of the wires are/were just tied together and electrical taped together which scares me a lot! I have a lot of heat shrink, solder, and wiring loom that I'll be using to clean up the bad stuff.

My major question is, what parts (especially off of the firewall) can I safely bypass and get rid of inorder to clean up the engine bay some more? I see that there are a bunch of vacum lines attached to a part on the firewall, a round looking can (fuel lines go into it??), etc..

thanks a lot!

Stephen
