I have a duel boot system.
I am running Windows 7 and Mac Snow Leapord (10.6.6)
On my windows side I have around 450GB space. I also run a 160GB External harddrive, and that is were I keep the Macintosh side. I want to know if it is possible to delete my windows and only use my macintosh. That would mean that the 450GB would go to the mac side right? Please help and leave a comment in the section below. .

Running in dual boot mode means you can choose between two OS's. First off I must say that it irritates me when people use external hard drives to hold crucial data (such as windows files or even a whole OS) and require them to be connected in order to boot. Why don't I like this? Well, you're running an external hard drive as an internal hard drive through a USB 2/3 port, which slows things down compared to traditional SATA 2/3. If you delete the Windows partition from your hard drive, the Mac OS will not just magically move itself from your external drive. If you really want to have a Mac-only system, uninstall both OS's and reinstall Mac OS on your internal HDD. At least, that's how I suppose it would work. To be honest I don't know jack about hackintosh so that's all on you.
