Re-Looming Engine Harness
Anyone care to give any tips as to re-looming an engine harness? Now that I'm pulling my engine again, I figured I'd fix the cracking, hard, baked and mangled engine harness.
Is it worth it to cut out all of the wires, even if they're in good condition? I remember Bonzai saying something about 1 method of branching a wire being better than another (when talking about teh microtech wiring harness), and I'd like to put spades on the wires used for an S-AFC, and re-work the grounding.
My only thought thusfar is to take a lot of pictures, zip-tie the clusters, and remove all of the connections to things that I've removed (emissions components, solinoids, etc).
Any input would be appreciated, as I plan to get started on this sometime today.

Be VERY Careful while removing the Emissions wiring. All the grounds in the harness are intertwined like a Tennessee Family Reunion!!!.
Make sure you re-install the copper ground wrap (Shielding) when you are done.

Oh! And I'm only removing the connections that are currently dangling; they're not grounded how they are, and my car ran fine... until the block cracked...
