So to begin, I've decided to clean up my bay and remove parts that serve no use to me. I plan to do a turbo 420A build in the future too. I'm also planning to do a wire tuck while I'm at it. So far I've removed A/C, Power Steering, and Cruise Control. Along the way I've run into these two lines. I believe one runs to the intake(?) and could not see where the other leads. They both go down into the wheel well and into a cylinder. From other pictures I've seen, they're removed from the bay. If anybody knows what these lines are used for or where they go, it would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to decide if I have to keep them and if I do where I should run them or if I should just leave them be where they are. I'd like to get rid of them if possible. And any help is appreciated. I can get more pictures if needed. (Also I know there's no timing cover) Thank you again.

Those lines run to the charcoal canister and are part of the evap system. You can delete it but you will get a check engine light code.

The evap system takes the built up gas fumes from the gas tank and burns it through the engine. With out it you will smell some gas fumes around your car. More noticeable with a full tank.

I have that deleted and only notice it when the car is full and parked in the garage. It's not an immense amount of fumes but you can smell gas.

If you do delete it take the line from the fuel tank and route it out of the engine bay. Mine is under the front cross member routed towards the back of the car.
 
Also I rerouted my power steering lines. I guess I'm not 'hard core' enough to delete it.
