Too late tonight but will try to get some pics soon. I know there have been some questions about lights, etc., and I'll try to get under the hood, too. Thinking back, it seems like except for the spare tire, there wasn't much under the hood on my 1980 (w/o a/c!).

Let's see if I can get pics in. The first would be under the hood where I used to keep a spare tire. No more. Then the battery, then positive and negative post areas.

There is no presently identified convenient hack for the system. Being that it's an emissions related system, I'm reasonably sure they have spec'd out the starter to last "forever" as even with a drained swamp, it's unlikely emissions systems failures will be looked at lightly. In Ca. at least, disabling an emissions control device is also going to be a problem on those inspection years for registration.
