Default more wire tuck stuff

hey guys I have some questions for my wire tucking. I'm going to be tucking wires etc in my cluttered 95 del sol si engine bay.

1. My gf has a 93 del sol s with a manual rack (no P/S). I would like to trade her setups. My power steering rack along with all hardware for her manual rack. Is this a simple swap over? thanks.

2. where should I put my fuel filter?

3. I've seen pics of slave cyliner pipes bending around the block. is this hard to do? should I wait for my DOHC for that one?

4. Could I get some more links on DIY wire tucks? I'm having trouble searching for them on here. (hey, at least i TRIED to use the search bar...)

5. Do I just stick my brake booster line under the M/S?

Thanks for any tips or answers.

in my experience, and opinion.. wire tuck is all personal style I guess.. I'm not all fancy for the complete tucks like ryan would do, I think that is way too performance and racing for me. But I haven't ran any hard lines such as p/s etc. Running wires with electrical tape and rubber casing is about all i've done, thats easy..

Yeah pull it off and throw it away. It's just a charcoal canister to catch gas vapors. Worthless!

i bought caps from autozone. It was a pack of several different sizes.

I think I will be removing that black canister thing today from my car. I got a JRSC and i was wondering how the hell to get rid of it. I live in PA where 95 and below is a visual inspection for emissions. Make sure no leaks and everything is there pretty much.
