Holy crap man i havent gone that crazy with the wiring yet. Did you pull your whole harness out of the car and do the mods to it or did you cut it up while it was still in the car?
Thats the theory that im going with to. There is tons of little things that add up # quick.
Did you plug the outlets on the WP?

just did most of it whil it was all in the car, when I pulled something I traced every wire that went to it and pulled it all the way back to where it originated (ECM, Fuse box, or Ground)...
For the WP - no I didn't plug the outlets, I just lopped them, instead of them looping over to the heater core, the loop in front of the WP...
There are a few pics in here, about halfway down you can see the looped lines...

Well sir i say take it all out then. i took out every piece of the HVAC system out of my car. You open up the AC vents and see nice red firewall
It deff saves lots of weight and cleans up the engine bay alot.

When I was working on my body harness I took it out of the car. I also took everything inside of the car out. I've taken at least 15-20 lbs of wiring out of just the interior harness. I will say it is nerve wracking to work on. One stupid mistake can make something weird not work. I'm sure my color blindness doesn't make it easier. If you do decide to start hacking on it label what every plug connects to. It will make things so much easier for you to work on. I had a hell of a time and took my 95 apart at least 5 times to look at how the wiring was to compare it to my 93's harness.

I Lowered the front coil overs...a bit to much I think but it looks bad *** slammed. Also lowered the rear just took out the spring isolators and cut 1/2 a coil off the spring. Let me know what you think about the new stance.
