House,

Now you can dewire your bay by first moving the coolant line from the firewall to the back side of the engine (dropping the hard coolant line). Then secondly reroute the EPS wire-harness from the right side fender well to the back of the engine and then lengthen the harness to have it plugged back into the steering cylinder (2 plugs).
This will give you a start on modding your bay.

House,

Caution, do not cap off the coolant lines. The Hard line (mounted on the firewall) can be dropped (lowered) so it is hidden and then add couplings to connect the line back up.

The fuse box is easily mounted flush against the wheel well ONCE the battery is relocated (trunk, or other location).

Sorry for the misunderstanding......

He's saying you can lower the hardlines to the heater core and then re route the soft lines so they are unseen.. Thats what im getting out of it anyway

Here is the bay with the 'hard coolant line' lowered so it is hidden behind the engine.

Also: you will notice that I moved the neg (-) battery cable and made two (2) black collars to hide the holes on the firewall. (made from 1/8" plastic signage board)

Good success with your engine bay mods.
