Default How Many Wires Do You Really Need?

Okay guys, I've got an aftermarket carb (Edl), and a full MSD ignition system. I was wondering, to successfully operate my car (for it to run, and all the lights to work, and my interior to be fine) how many wires do I really need? At least to start it?

what are you trying to do??? removing all excess wiring won't save much of anything or make the car faster

most of the wires are in a harness anyway, best solution is to just hide the harness. no cutting necessary.
