The two plugs I had that went that direction were not black but one blue and one white... I think they probably went to the body module or something... my harness is out of a 2000... what year is yours?

I think the blue and white plugs you're referring to are the 2 interior plugs
blue is #230 connector and the white is the #220 connector.

On my rx7/Ls1 conversion, I used the following wires from both:

Blue connector - brn/wht is the check engine light or MIL (malfunction
indicator)
- dk.blue was the vatts wire
- grn/wht was the a/c request
- dk. grn was the serial data (obdII) wire
White connector
- grn/wht was vss output (speedo)
- lt.grn to reverse lights
- lt. brn to reverse lights
These were from a 2002 ls1/t56

I guess it doesn't matter if you cut the wires.
Those 2 connectors had really long wires which let me run them inside the
car to connect them.
I was able to put the PCM inside the car so the longer the wires, the better
in my case.

If your PCM is under the hood, it really doesn't matter. If you cut the wires
short, you might just have to extend them.

I don't know how important the other wires in those 2 connectors are in
your swap but there's a black/wht wire in the white connector that needs to
be grounded.
If you were in the process of hooking up the obdII connector, you would
have needed to use the dk. green wire in the blue plug.

My swap isn't up and running yet, so if I'm wrong about this info, someone
hopefully will chime in.
