what of my engine harness do i keep

I have an Gt-limited s4 rx7 (like a TII with leather interior, cruise control, sunroof, ABS, Auto adjusting suspension, AC climate control, blah blah, luxury model) im trying to sort out the wiring and tuck it all. Ive labelled about 90percent of the chassis harness ready to sort the spagetti and re-route everything. Now the engine harness on the other side has 3 plugs that go inside and join onto the chassis harness behind the dash. What are they? what do I need to keep? Im going stand alone when I decide which to go with. This has probably been covered before. Also my car is right hand drive so the wiring is a bit mixed up, was hard to find everything off of this http://www.norotors.com/index.php?topic=2874.0

you'll find that if you wire up a standalone it is just that...a standalone computer that is wired to the engine.
So no wiring from the old harness is really needed..EXCEPT the wiper wiring.
The wiper wiring is simple,just take the old harness and split it,and you will have the Wiper motor connector on one side and then follow it down to the other inside the car connector...Cut that harness from the engine harness and it is Golden.
This is for a LHD,so I don't know if that is different on RHD but it gives ya an idea.

yea this is my problem. all wiring info i find is for LHD. my chassis harness contains the wiper motor not the efi harness. :S so I am good there but it does make me wonder if there is anything else in it that needs keeping.

figure out which standalone you are going with before doing anything to the harness... with most you eliminate it all and use new sensors and whole new harness, with Rtek and microtech you will keep some of it.
