It's good to hear I'm not the only one!
I've spent countless hours looking over the Wiring Diagram in the FSM and although I'm getting a hang of understanding them there are still a lot of questions I have. Fortunately, I've been in contact with C. Ludwig from Ludwig Motorsports (he's on here somewhere) and he's been helping me out a lot. Basically, I want to remove every wire, connector, fuse, relay, etc. that is no longer being used in the car. Basically this lets me almost completely (I need to save the wiper control and temperature sendor wires) remove the emissions and control harness, but that's the easy part. What I've now come to understand as the "front" and "engine" harnesses are almost completely intertwined. Most of the engine harness will stay as it's basically just the main power loom . The front harness (what I called the "main" harness in my last post) has all sorts of crap that needs to be weeded out. I'm discussing with C. Ludwig just exactly what can be removed and what should stay. For example, I may want to keep the stock ECU 12V fixed and 12V switched sources available to use with the Haltech. The stock tachometer signal wire is another. However, the stock wires are 22 years-old now so maybe they should be replaced. The other source of confusion is exactly what his harness contains. I know it'll have all the appropriate injector and coil/ignitors plugs and wires but what about the power and ground I mentioned previously? The fuel pump and its relays will need all new wiring as well because their sole signal source is the stock ECU.
Anyhow, I did remove some more crap last night. I ended up pulling the bumper cover off to expose some wires and to remove the silencer for the air pump. I'll try to remove the emissions harness today and snap some pictures just so you guys can see how empty the engine bay is getting. I really need to get rid of the power steering crap as that's covering a lot of the wires I need to get to.
Still looking for a turbo motor though
