I just finished my swap from 4cyl F.I. to 302 Carb. I just eliminated all the wiring and ran just what was needed, A hot ignition wire to the starter solenoid, bypassed my neutral safety switch and installed a mechanical Cap and rotor (made it much easier, will put electronic one on sometime). It is pretty easy though, just takes some wiring knowledge.

My car was converted to carb. Believe me, it's pretty hard to rip out a piece of wiring you actually need when going from efi to carb setup. I went underneath my dash and pretty much everything underneath there was feeding from other locations and was no longer needed. I ripped out like 20 different wires and still have more to do.
