Then you should be able to trace the wires and take out the pins on that end too

Just follow them till they end and pull the pins. I didnt have any splicing to do. I had to fix some frayed wires. Oh and Tip: be very careful pulling the harness out of the firewall the metal cuts the wires haha I was being sort of careless. But oh well

I think theres 3 wires that cross over between connectors, and since I dont have a pin out sheet I didnt remove them. They go from the ABS Computer to a huge bulk head under the dash. But everything else is gone haha. I dont need it to run the car.

I'm glad this thread came back up. I was looking at my car (93) the other day and wondering what that box was. I'm going to pull that out. I've been working on the body harness for a long time. The next step is attacking the engine harness that controls the lights, ABS, blinkers, etc... and hooking it up to my LS1 engine harness.
