Default removing trac. comtrol & cruise

When I install my strut tower bar this weekend Im deleting the trac. control and cruise. There are so few DIY things to do on a 400, Im going for less luxury add-ons and removing what I can. I think it will also make the engine stand out more.

Removed the cruise today, I think it shows off the air intake area alot, also is fairly big and heavier than you might think. Easy to remove.As far as the Trac. control, I unplugged the plug from the front side of the throttle blade of the throttle body to stop the blade from choking the air with tire slippage, thought the Trac. light would be on, but its not. Neither is any cruise warning light a problem. My goal is to lose 125lbs of weight from the car, go from 3625 to 3500 lbs. and also provide less clutter in the engine bay.

I guess at least I disabled the trac. butterfly in the throttle body.
