Default Custom wiring harness from reputable vendor?

I have a 2010 6.0 truck Gen IV w/VVT (L96) and a T56 in my 71 A-body Cutlass. When I originally put this in in 2012, I had AKNovaman redo the stock harness and make this work. It has indeed worked well, but I don't like how ugly the stock harness is. I'm going to be swapping frames in my car this summer and I'd like to buy a new harness that would work with my E38 ECM, VVT, efans and T56 that would be cleaner and have the ECM mount on the firewall. Who can do this type of harness for me that has a good reputation? You can see the current wiring harness layout and ECM location in the pics, and you can also see the room I have where the old AC suitcase used to be. Appreciate any leads you can give me.

I have used Speartech and Howell with really good results. I get the harness and ECM with a base tune from one vendor. I like to mount the ECM, relay and fuse block inside under the dash. Try to hide as much of the harness as possible. I don't have AC so that cleans things up a bit. After looking at your pics many of the ECM harness wires could be hid if you can mount the ECM stuff under the dash.
Some of your stock Cutlass wiring could be modded and tucked inside the fenders. Rotate your mass air sensor to the underside. Same with the air hose in the 90 degree elbow. I really don't like the plastic split loom wire cover. I thing the braided wire cover is so much better looking.
Couple of pics of my latest hot rods. 68 C10 and 80 Camaro RS.

Your's looks great. Yes, I'm trying to up my game a bit on aesthetics. I'll contact one (or both) of your recco's. Bill Howell helped me with my first swap in my Cutlass in 1990; a harness to fit an '89 350 TPI/700R4!

I used BP Automotive for my wiring harness about 10 years age, I got the harness, ECM tuned and setup to run AC and mounting bracket. The only mistake I made was not having the wiring harness made so I could put the ECM in the trunk.
