Probably a good idea to get a wiring diagram if possible. It'll keep you from removing the wrong stuff.

have you run any searches?

There is a TON of info on this section. You can also start with the stickies on the conversion/hybrid section.

wiring diagrams help alot especially when u run into wiring junctions. also make sure to trace the whole wire completely or match the wire to its pin before pulling them completely. there are really good pieces of info and writeups in the conversions and hybrids section which have pin-outs for pretty much all of the harnesses

definitely get some schematics & take your time, so you don't cut something out that you still need. i did my whole car & had schematics & still cut 2 wires that i shouldn't have. luckily i was able to put them back in. good luck
