^^^ Like they said, so if you are running an aftermarket pump and fuel cell and not using the abs system then yea you can get rid of the wiring and either leave the plug in place or weld in a cover.

so what are you guys doing with the ends of the wires that you are cutting off? im guessing just pull the fuses. can i simply cut everything back or remove it completely for anything not being used? also what is the flat connector in the rear on the drivers side? it has never been plugged in to anything. i was thinking that the harness is the same as that of a convertible and this harness was for the pump but i am not sure. thanks for the help it is appreciated.

The flat plug could be for the optional disc player.

abs, fuel level, fuel pump (TCS I think, not sure)

This is what it looks like under the metal cover.

So you just chopping them off where they "t" into the harness and leaving them if you are not tracing them all the way out? How about the big harness that plugged into the abs block?
