are you talking about the plastic canister? if so that is your evap canister and checking your local emissions laws would be smart before you rip it out just looked again and your from cali so unless this is a non-street car you should probably leave it
Plug up all of the holes to the engine no matter what they are for and pressure wash your engine bay, use some engine cleaner to clean it all up. The little things add up overtime. Get some of your parts powdercoated, it will help show off your bay more and make it look a lot cleaner.
There is no oil lines under the motor mount. Those are all vacuum lines which you'll have to check with your emissions standards to see what you can and cannot removed. It really depends on how far you want to go with cleaning it up as to what to do for rerouting things. I could tell you to redo your harness, delete cruise control, move your battery, etc but it all depends on what you want to do with it.
I have a small battery kit in my 1g. Instead of removing the evap canister i was able to move it more to the center. Lots of power washing/degreasing and powdeercoat is definitely the best way to clean up a bay.
Well you need a non cruise throttle cable since you removed the cruise control. Remove all of your AC lines, the compressor and the pump on the back of the motor which is hard to get to with the motor in but it can be done.
