More cleaning

Finally sourced a new light for above the engine bay, and now I have good lighting levels. I went on to remove the wiring harnesses from both the engine bay and the interior. I also removed the vacuum lines, which I will be replacing. I thought this would be more difficult than it was. Now I can clean them up and remove any unneeded wiring before I reinstall. Finally, with wiring and vacuum lines removed I gave the engine a good cleaning with Marine Clean. It's still filthy though, but I can start wire brushing any rust underhood, give it a final clean, and then prep with Metal Ready and finally coat with POR-15. About the only thing left underhood at this point is the engine itself, and the power brake booster.
