wheel speed sensor and brake booster delete

[jansen]

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?

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?

[farmtruc]

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

[jansen]

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?

[farmtruc]

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