Default New to the MK2

Hey,
So I`m new to the MK2`s. I recently bought a 1986 Jetta GLI.
Its a sweet car, but it has its quirks. It has the 1.8 8v SOHC,
and it has 2 1/2 inch Borla catback with 18 inch Borla muffler.
The previous owners had also drilled out the airbox. It is lowered slightly with 16'' TSW wheels.
I previously had a 1995 Passat with the VR6, so the 1.8 isn`t really gettin it.
I was curious if anyone has some advice on a cheap way of getting more power out of it.
Would taking the A/C comp, and power steering off improve my power?
How would I go about doing this?
