1. To make it look better. Doesn't apply to a slant six, unless you are hopping it up.

Says who? Slants benefit from a nice, clean engine compartment just as much as V8s.

I knew that was going to hit a true believer!
Take a look at the picture at the top. If he is going to do a full cleanup, and paint the engine, I'd agree. If he's just pulling stuff off (a common 70's thought) and then selling the car, what's the point? As someone who had to research, find and install a bunch of stuff like this for the dealer I used to work for, I can tell you that a lot of backyard guys just hack and slash without anything more than "I'm gonna take off all that smog stuff" in their head. If it doesn't hurt anything and they are going to move the vehicle soon anyway, they are not doing anything constructive.
