How much of the harness should I remove from the donor?

Grab the whole engine harness, PCM, under hood fuse block if you want to use it, TAC module, TAC module harness, gas pedal. And if possible grab the throttle body. This makes the easiest swap.

Thanks. I should've been more specific. I pulled all of that. The main harness leaving the underhood fuse box, is joined to some other "branches" of the harness under the dash. Trying to determine where to stop pulling harness intact and where to safely start cutting it.

Thanks. That's what I was wanting to know. I think the harness is just bound to the other branches with loom and tape (no actual wires in common) . I got most of it loose yesterday. Truck had no transmission and it appears they cut the plug for the 4L80e off! Can I splice a new plug pigtail in?

My usual rule when I'm at a boneyard is, "When in doubt, pull it out!" - but that may not be ideal for all situations...
WRT the 4L80E, that should be just a connector - I can't see why you couldn't splice another one in...
