Emission question

[gobeli67]

What the heck are those things sitting on my power booster. They almost look like BCS's but im not sure. I think its emissions stuff, and if it is can you remove it. I lloked through the forums already but none of the links are working.

one is a fuel pressure solenoid one i believe is a egr solenoid, and i can't think of what the other one is. By removing them you don't gain anything for performance wise, you only get a little space saving and thats it.

Thats all I want they are just so ugly and are there once you open the hood. How would i go about removing them?

egr is easy disconnect and plug all hoses for it EXCEPT charcoal canister. Fuel one just take the line that goes from the manifold to the solenoid and connect it to the FPR, as for the other one I don't remember what it is for. But instead of removing all that stuff, why don't you be creative and make a sheetmetal cover plate that looks like it belongs. A lot of times it looks nicer then just removing stuff that actually makes the car run correctly and properly.

Yea Im just weighing out my options, I could make the sheet metal cover seeing how I have access to a full metal/ machine shop when ever I want, but it would be kinda nice to just take it off.

Also if I did decide to remove it, do you remove the solenoids or are they still there?
