Audi RS4 V8
Looks quite complicated in there, but 10 mins is all it takes to work out what does what! Wished I'd taken a pic when the heads were still on... even more 'chain-tastic'! Two of those gears drive the Air-Con and Power-Steering pump respectively. I've already junked the actual pumps, but hope to remove the redundant gears as well (every little helps!). The gear driven water-pump is on the other side of the engine... it too has gone bye-bye's and the water will be pushed by an electronic jobbie! The only ancillary-drives that remain are the oil-pump and the alternator.
One of the heads (the four small holes are the FSI ports... each will be blanked off at both ends). You can't see the Secondary Air Injection Ports as they're hiding in the exhaust ports (funnily enough!). These will also be blanked off.

You have been warned, put it in now. I wanted to save weight and work etc. Big mistake, although you would think with absence of roof heat rises. In the Ultima its like sitting in an open pit fire in summer. It can be retro fitted if you want to spend the rest of your life with a back specialist.
