The easiest and cheapest way is using the harness and PCM from the same vehicle year and model the engine came of. You also need the fuse box

You can leave the harness as-is (hiding the sections you won't use), or you can go the hard way modifying it to eliminate all the wires you don't need (You need to dissasemble all the harness then rebuild it again. A lot of work but is better).
Either way will work the same.

No, they won't as long as everything is properly wired and all the sensors and signals the PCM needs are ok.

It's just aesthetic
