Wiring Hell!!!

Wiring Hell!!!
I wont make this a drawn out description just short and simple. The Guy I bought my pony from swapped out a 4cyl turbo(FI) and put in a 302 carb'd. Instead of doing things the right way, remove all the unused turbo wires and computer and such, he decided a better way would be to cut all the harnesses off and leave the wires just chillin under the hood (facepalm). Now me being a little OCD looked at that and said "**** no", so now I am blessed with the opportunity to completely strip all bad stuff from under the hood. I am just forewarning everyone here I may be posting some questions about wires I cant figure out. I have a Chiltons but im not to smart when it comes to wiring diagrams. Wish me luck on the adventure I am about to undertake. I will post some before and after photos soon. I think I should be able to get it done within the next week or 2.

Hey MJR, do I need the computer? it looks like all the wires that ran to it are just cut and left dangling. I cant think of any system in my car that the computer would control. the only things needing power that I cant think of are fuel pump, starter solenoid, electric choke, headlights, taillights, gauges... stuff like that. Do you think I can just pull the computer and back out all the wires that are connected to it?

thanks for the warning. I am using my Chiltons as a road map for what wires run into the ecu. I am cutting open every wire loom and removing all the tape on all the wires so I can trace them anywhere they go.
