wheel speed sensor and brake booster delete

Well I've almost got my engine out of my truck ( bell housing bolts and motor mounts holding it in) and I'm wanting to clean up things that i don't need on the truck. Plans are a forged 370 with twin 76mm's and I want it to be of show quality this go around. I'm cleaning up the wiring harness , relocating the coil packs and looking at deleting the brake booster to clean the truck up a bit. What's everyones opinion on deleting the brake booster? What about wheel speed sensors? Heard of people wiring up e fans on the ac switch... Do you use the 12v going to the high or low pressure switch to signal a relay to turn on the fans or what?

I'm no help. But interested. I pulled all the harness out from under the hood and helped the looks alot

Also can the park neutral indicator and all trans wiring (except the vss ) be deleted since I'm running a th400?

Bump

Hydro boost looks a lot cleaner than the booster, plus still having power brakes just maybe make up some nice stainless lines. If you delete ABS you can delete the wheel speed sensors.

Thanks frenchy ! I forgot about hydro boost, just found a write up on how to do it over on pt.net. do you know anything about deleting all the trans wiring ?I know the prdnl switch has to be in park to crank, but is there a wire I could tie into and make it think that its in park?

If you delete tranny wiring what's your plan for reverse lights?

the pcm can run the efans based on coolant and a/c line pressure.

Not really concerned with reverse lights since the truck will see very little street time (race truck! Lol). All ac components have been removed except for the wiring. Any reason I can't use the 12v wire for the ac system to trigger a relay to turn the fans on when I press the ac button?

As long as the relay is fed the correct signal it'll work.

my truck has no auto wiring in it anymore...need a few wires from harness and your good least in my case...a th400 you could techincally ditch it all then.....you can also get a hot rod harness

I should have unplugged the prndl switch and tried to start it before I removed half my engine from the truck. I'm just trying to make sure that if I delete all tranny wiring that my truck won't think its in gear and not spin over. I would like to just modify my harness since i already have it. Probably gonna ditch the 400 and put a glide in it. Can someone look at pin # 33 on this link and please elaborate. http://www.lt1swap.com/99-02_vortec_pcm.htm

i posted on PT.net back in 07 about what wires needed to do what.. look for name quik in the T56 thread

Thanks George! I'll do that!

i know edgar aka roadkill from the valley is deleting his brake booster now and not going hydroboost ( could be wrong but doubt it ) he bought the parks from burkhart performance if not mistaken .. he also deleted ABS and the BS that comes with it

After reading this post last night I did a little research and found the burkhart kit for the f bodies. With a little further research I found that the f body guys are also using a manual brake cylinder from a 89 dodge caravan. Gonna swing by the parts house this week and check one out . thanks for the tip skeet!

o2camaross currently has a th400 in his truck now. PM him and ask him what he did to his truck to get it all straightened out.
