All emissions can come off.
The ac and heater core can come out if you want.
All vacuum lines except to the brakes, and dizzy advance.
Fuel pump needs removed, replace with a mechanical or inline electric with regulator.
You can remove all but about half a dozen wires from the engine harness.
Using headers makes it quicker to get the smog crap off.... and makes more power then manifolds.
If it's an auto the trans lock-up will need rewired.
Cooling fans rewired.
There is probably more, you should see once you tear into it.
