Has anyone tucked the wire harness that crosses the engine bay?
There is a large harness loom that crosses the radiator core support under the airbox in the front of the car from the drivers side to the passengers side. It looks like it could be ran behind instead of in front of the support, maybe between the condenser and radiator. I swear I've read on here that someone has tucked it that way before but I cannot for the life of me find the thread. Has anyone relocated this giant wire loom to clean up the front end a bit more? If so, how and do you have any pictures?

I think you would have enough slack to take it behind and use the holders for the fans controls on the back of the fan shroud. never done it though, I dont even know whats in that harness. I know it has the washer fluid pump wire, but what else is in it? passenger side headlight motor?

Ayou are referring to the fuse box harness. A few folks have moved it down where the air pump is from th factory and then made a cover plate with out extending the harness. I tried it this way at first and had lots of problems like this. I ended up extending all my wires and I moved the fuse boxes under the steering wheel and then routed the wires under the fender well down under the core support and the back under the passenger side fender well. It clears up the engine bay a whole lot and looks very good when you take the time and make the cover plate and paint everything. It's a very time consuming process. Make sure to take your time and work slow to make sure each wire is not pulled to tight or if you extend the harness make sure you solder the right ends back together.

I absolutely believe you can run it through the core support if you drill some clearance holes in the support large enough to clear harness plugs.
If youre not into that, you can always make it look a little better. I wrapped and secured it to the core support. Cleans up a little....
