Default Engine harness routing

I'm in the process of converting my 88 gt (which was carbed by the previous owner) to EFI. I've re-taped my engine harness, along with the injector & O2 harness', and am ready to install them all. Im a bit unsure though about how to go about routing the engine harness down through the passenger side firewall to connect to the EEC. Can I simply route it down there using a wire, or do I have to take part of the dash out from inside the car?

It can be done without taking the dash out. I did mine that way. It doesn't look like it can but it will go.

you have to turn the EEC plug at some odd angles, but it will go without taking anything apart. be careful feeding it through the dash....you may want to put extra wrap on the end that plugs into the EEC, just to prevent any nicked wires.
