I am carburated, But still have a ridiculous mess of wires near the starter solenoid and other places. Can someone tell me (or show me in a pic) Which wires I NEED to keep? I dont have cruise control or airbags, But I do have AC and PS.

Please please please, anyone who has done wire removal chime in. Which wires can go, especially since im carburated and dont use the EFI stuff anymore. I got all the sensors gone, But there is maybe 10 wires that go from the passenger side and hook up into wires coming out from driver side. Do i need to keep these?

Not sure if i'd go about cutting wires. That never turns out good. A lot of guys around here will hide that big mess of wires in the fenderwell along with the starter relay. Looks really clean when it's done. Masonozz made a nice page of how to do it. Do a search under his name and it should show up.
