Whos all thinned out their wiring harness and relocated the fuse box inside the car? I'm considering thinning out the wiring harness and deleting the stuff that I'm not using. I would also like to move the fuse box inside the car. I have the motor out and plan on mounting all the relays and ignition box to the HVAC delete panel. Last year I just threw the wiring in to make the nitrous work and for a guy that wires industrial control panels I felt a little ashamed of myself.
I will be running an after market ecm with a powerglide so I'm also debating on removing all the factory ecm wiring and running auto meter gauges since the stock ones are computer controlled if I'm not mistaken.
Does anyone have some good schematics of the wiring?

The Chilton's manual for our cars is actually pretty accurate and and provides some good detail as to the wiring.
The factory gauges are not run thru the PCM with the exception of the speedo and tach. The aftermarket PCM you buy will obviously have a tach output and you can purchase a speedometer adapter that will make the speedo work without the PCM. I believe Dakota Digital makes the adapter.

In the beginning.
And this is still a work in progress but the power windows, locks, keyless entry, trunk release and all the lights work. Just need to add fuse box and possibly a relay or two.

I'll probably be getting some help on it. I'll be more of doing a backtracking so I know which wires to pull. I'll be working from the end of the wire all the way back to the PCM. Hopefully it won't be too confusing for me.

Haha, I know. I had a summer job at a custom home theatre installation company. We'd prewire homes for sound or wire complete home theatres / sound systems. I messed one up big time crossing a wire in the cat 5. It took us forever to figure out what the problem was.
