What are these and can I cut them out?
Does anyone know what all these relays and modules are? I think the one all the way to the right is the MAP sensor... I want them gone they are ugly as ****.

Thanks!

Can't be because this car originally came with a mechanic fuel pump.

Well I guess there's differences by years or options, but this is what mine is like

I'm going to guess 86-87 LG4 with the fan relay and fuel pump relay.

I'm also going to recommend learning what your car has and doesn't have, what things are and do and how things work before considering hacking them.

Its a 1985 IROC and came with a Carbureted 305. No Electronic Fuel Pump. No Injectors.

Could possibly be a Fan relay as it did come with an electric fan. But that is totally redone and has a completely different relay now.

And for the second part of your post...thats why I made this thread

Some 85s will have an in tank pump installed along with the block mounted mechanical. Look for the 2 wire pressure switch behind the dist tee'd off the 1 wire pressure sender for the guage. You can also jump the wires at the connector to see what comes on.

Re: What are these and can I cut them out?
The 2 relays look just like my 1984 l69.
One is for the electric fan and the other is for the throttle kicker.

Re: What are these and can I cut them out?
Does it really matter what they're for? If they weren't needed GM wouldn't have spent the money putting them there. If you don't like how they look move them where you can't see them or make an attractive cover. Or don't open the hood!
