Ok guys, so I did some searching on a write up on this but didn't really see anything so I will attempt to do one myself.
So step 1. go to garage grab beer and admire your truck
step 2. open hood and see the mess that is under there
i will be adding more pics as i get them uploaded but for tonight its bed time.
step 3. start clean up/out.
so I started with the drivers side today.
first removed the cruise control module
then the RWAL control and then the washer fluid tank. ( there will be a follow up on relocation and modification of this later.)
next came the hood latch cable.
this was simple just disconnect at each end and pull through fire wall
then find a place you would like to put it that is out of the way, and simply attach handle and re route cable. I placed mine inside the front wheel well and routed under /through the frame and up in front of radiator.
after this I removed the charcoal canister. for this i simply disconnected the line at the fuel tank and then removed the canister up front capped off the tb vac line and removed the line that was under the hood.
next inline was the wiring that runs along the side this was the longest part of the project but fear not it is simple and low stress.
1 remove from fender
2 about 3-5 inches from plug cut wires.
3 route wires and loom through the small hole at the front of the fender.

4. pull out at opening in back of fender

5. cut 6-7 wires of 4-6" in length and similar gauge
6 splice small wires to plug end and loom end then feed around back end of fender
7 reconnect plug and test that all still works.
so there we go a small write up on some simple cleanups you can do under the hood.
nothing major or extreme.
