Best thing for the wires is to study the diagram and go from there. You will need to unwrap all of the engine harness. This will also help you to trace where the various wires splice into others, like the 12v wires.

There are several good threads on "rats nest removal" search for those for hose routing etc.

Twin scroll requires some welding IIRC.

there is no welding needed for the twin scroll. you just remove the flapper door and then tap the hole for a bolt and put in a bolt and locknut

You will also need about 6' of fuel line, because the ratnest is not only vac lines but also two fuel lines. Check some of these sites:
www.mazdatrix.com
www.rotaryressurection.com
www.fc3spro.com
One of them is bound to have a write up.

I suggest going to oriely's and getting a little set of vac caps with different sizes, extra vacuum lines (about 2'), and about 6' of fuel hose...and some rtv.

Also, you asked about the sub zero; remove the upper intake manifold and you should see it attached to the inner side of the lower intake manifold. Good luck!
