Under hood prep....any suggestions?

How much do those inner fenders weigh, and does the removal change the cooling for the better or worse?
Mornin brother!

The fenders were approximately (guessing) less than 20lbs. Cooling should not be effected. I have not run the car yet. The wiring is in bad shape to the point of throwing in the towel (temporarily) until a new harness arrives. Or, I replace wire by wire.

At this time, a lot is on my plate delaying car time fun.
So it’ll be a little while.
