I took off the intake manifold to get some clearance, removed all the old hoses and the starter that I will be replacing. Also removed the alternator and the old wiring harness. You can see where they cut some of the wires on the old harness, good thing I have the new one.



Got this neat little cap for the clutch fan delete.

I have a little surface paint flaking on the block, not horrible but figured after I clean the engine I am going to hit the block with a bit of paint.
Dont mind the garage, I cleaned it up after I put the engine away lol.

Once I clean it all up, the new water pump, alternator, starter, PS pump, and AC compressor will go on. Then the gasket and vanos work starts.
