          Mine has a long ways to go but here's what it looks like -

          Canton Valve Covers
          Painted Intake Manifold
          Aftermarket Intake Elbow
          SLP Cold Air Intake
          Mallory Billet Accessories (MBA) billet dress up all over (caps, covers, etc)
          MBA Radiator Shroud
          Cleaned and painted alternator with MBA alternator fan (no longer have the pulley cover on it)
          Taylor's Over The Valve Cover spark plug wire setup (though I plan to switch to a standard setup sometime down the road)
          UMI Strut Tower Brace
          !passenger wire mod
          Fuel line relocation
          Painted the engine bay
          My dad painted the under side of the radiator support black which I thought was a cool effect
          Polished stainless steel hard brake lines going into and out of the ABS and master cylinders
          Polished the AC lines on the passenger side and the accumulator

              I agree completely considering the ABS that's currently installed is still the v6 ABS and my brake proportioning is way off now that it has the LT1 with 4 disc brakes instead of discs and drums. I plan to fix that this winter. There's a lot of things that need to be deleted if I really wanted to clean it up.

                we have the correct ABS for his car, I would never delete abs on a cruise or driver car. Maybe race car.

                    Be careful cleaning the painted areas underhood... my paint there will not clean very well, and in a lot of spots, anything beyond water will lift the paint. I guess it never fully cured or something...

                            neither one of my camaros have the ABS anymore... it looks like crap and my camaro stops better without it. if you wanna leave it there leave it... and mine in both cars worked perfectly well and i yanked them for the working room and it looks way better, to say its unsafe is totally asinine. so have total confidence in removing your ABS unit (if you can stand the brake light on all the time) it will not jeopardize yours or anyone else's safety. and for the life of me i cant find an engine bay shot of mine!!! well... a current one with the ABS unit deleted!!

                            you can sorta see it in this pic...
