Default What to do with unneeded wiring?

I still have all my wiring fasteners and such from removing AIR and EGR. They are just hanging out going nowhere. What does everyone do with these? Also what to do with the two extra 02 sensors? Thanks

I did it the easy way and taped them up with black electrical tape. Guess I'm just lazy.

I cut them back and put on what they call closed end connectors and stuffed them back into the cable sleves.
