This is what the engine bay looked like without the Intercooler.
Notice the original "tube" where the
SVO Intercooler would be.

Heres a view of the Dual electric Fans just after I got the car.
These Fans are not Original to the Anniversary Mustang,
the original fan is a large single electric fan and is the same as the
fans used in all the EFI 4cyl. Mustangs.

Here is a view of the "Spaghetti" Mess of Factory Wiring and
Air Conditioning Hoses etc....
I Plan to "Clean" this up as much as possible when I get
to the point of detailing the engine/engine bay.

Here is a view of the Factory "Buck" Tag.
The tag is usually Located either somwhere on the Radiator support or on
the Firewall.
Using the Buck Tag and comparing the Consecutive
Unit number with the Door Data Tag and the Dashboard VIN
Stamping can help Identify Fake Anniversary Mustangs From genuine.

Here is a view of the Battery area, I removed all the wiring, the Battery and Tray etc...
The common problem here is rust-through due to battery acid.
I was lucky, just some minor surface rust (Black areas). The rust is blackened
in this photo because of the Rust inhibitor I used to initally stop the
rust. Always be sure to use a wire wheel on a drill and remove as much
surface rust as possible and re-inhibit the rest before priming and painting.
