What do i need to keep?

Alright I'm pretty much taring down the whole car. Tearing out EVERY single wire. And replace them all. New fusebox and all. I was wondering what I need to wire back. So far I got...

headlights
headlight motors
taillights
brake switch
microtech
fuel pump
parking lights
blinkers
winshield wipers


What else?

When it comes time to wire up the headlights, visit DanielSternLighting.com for instructions on adding relays to the system. The stock wiring is very small gauge, and does not allow full power to flow to the lights. I have done this, and the difference was dramatic! I highly recommend this mod.
