Those of you who have put your computer in the glove box or any where inside the car, how did you fit it through the fire wall? I seen some that have deleted the heater box, and I assume they went through there, but I am keeping my heater. I imagine it has to be a pretty big hole.

I am also about to take my wiring harness to get reworked. I have de-pinned all that I don't need, but I am not enjoying the rest of the work. How do you get all those pink wires into the fuse block???? It looks like a bird nest of wires. I can't find anyone local to help me clean it up. It will pain me, but I think it will be worth it to me to have someone clean it up. I am sure it will it will look a lot better and cleaner.

I had a modified harness and wanted to place it under the passenger seat. The wires were too short to do so, so I placed it in the glovebox.
There was a rather large, perfectly round hole on the firewall, to the right of the heater box. My car came this way...the hole was always open/nothing attached to it. I'm not sure what it was for. The harness would not fit through here because of the large red & blue plugs. The way that the thicknesses of the harness vary, the plugs had to be fed first, then the harness wires had to bent backwards...thinner feeds through the hole second, then the larger cables fed last. At this, the hole was just a bit too small, so I took a dremel with a cutting wheel to it and enlarged the hole just big enough to get everything through. The final shape of the hole looked like a door arch....flat on the bottom, while retaining the roundness on the top.
One caveat...I couldn't get an injector sig upon startup, and it turned out to be a broken wire between crank sensor & ECM (in a small wire loom). Could have been me, although I thought I was very careful feeding the wires. If you do it this way, have someone help you with the feed from inside the car.

Didn't see the rest of your question about the pink wires.
If you have your harness modified, depending upon who mods it, they will include a separate small fuseblock for fuel pump, coils, etc. Not sure if you are ref to this end of it when you say 'pink wires'.

Still needs to be dressed up a bit. I was thinking of putting a metal cover over it.

1" hole isnt going to fit all those wires

Heres a 2" hole under the HVAC box. Split some fuel line longways to insulate the sharp edge. Also heard the cheap door guard works wonders. Two harness looms still going past are for cruise and power dist block

I wanted to use the same routing as "Pocket", but I have LT's, which you can't see in my photo. The LT's would've been a bit too close heat-wise for my comfort.
Just something to consider.
