I have been recently dressing up my engine, but noticed it still looks really crowded under the hood... Is there anything i can take out without effecting the car or its value too much to give it a more clean look..?

No: Car makers don't make money installing unnecessary stuff their cars.

Look up "engine bay tuck"

You can do a wire tuck & battery relocation

although that isn't going to really reduce weight as much as clutter.

lilred is right. If you want weight reduction you need to look at removing heavy stuff. Start with the trans. You don need that or the engine. Be like fred and use your feet to move the car..

Or start puying reduce weight items like flywheels, pulleys, etc etc

Don't buy a non OEM crank pulley, not after recently seeing it personally ruin an engine. You can get an odyssey battery and put it in the trunk, remove cruise control, ABS, A/C and power steering. Though the only one's that will really make a weight difference is A/C and the battery, the 5g has a good ABS that I wouldn't remove unlike the 4g which is useless.

You're asking a question that has been asked for a solid decade or more, search.
