Chrome water pump hose neck thingie. Replace / paint the coolant overflow/resovoir. Chrome alternator.

But to be honest, for the age of the vehicle that engine bay is pretty damn clean, kudos man :)

Thanks for the comments,

Well I dont want to get too Much Chrome.. I was thinking of polishing the Belt Tensioner and A/C Bracket Piece..

The Grease Looking Stuff Isnt Grease, Its Undercoating that Ive been taking off.. Some of the red paint came off with it as you can see..

Now with the Belt. I want some thing that has letters on it and stays black and doesnt turn brown.. and i dont want to buy a new belt every other month. Has anyone found a trick for that? Like wax or something? I have no idea.. Hate the Brown Ugly belt.

get rid of AIR and your smog pump. that will clean it up hella lot.

If i were to drop the smog/Air pump would i gain anything? Like Hp? I dont think its that restrictive or whatever..

nope but it really doesn't do much for you anyways. do you have a catylitic converter? if you do i would get a high flow one like i did that doesn't come with the AIR tube and just take all of the AIR off. it does'nt really restrict a whole lot but its ugly and with a high flow converter you might see hp gains.
thats probly too much work lol. just paint your valve covers, water pump, and thermo housing like i did

WTF are you talking about? you still have your AIR pump... and I have no cat..

Look at your belt near the tensioner compared to mine.. I ought to get a new one eh?
