Wiring Harness after Emissions Removal
Hey guys, i have a question about what to do with the wiring harness after I have eliminated some of my emmisions like the ACV, and a couple others that I can't remember their names atm. Anyways, now that I have those things removed do I need to do anything with the wiring harness or do I just leave the plugs hanging? Also if it helps I have a Power FC. Thanks

So there isn't any reason why they would have to be cut off or have resistors put on them so that the ECU doesn't think some crazy **** is goin' down? If I don't have to then I will just tie them out of the way.

My car is non seq and no emissions with a Power FC .I pulled the wiring out unwrapped it and cut all the unused wires about 6 inches fron the computor .I replaced all the hard brittle wires and replaced most of the connectors with GM Weather packs .Rewrapped and put it in split wire wrap, black ,Then mounted the harness over the engine on a SS sheet metal frame to hold it in place and keep it looking good . No problems in several years of use .

I can tell you that if you attempt to sell that harness for any reason, it will be worth substantially less if you've hacked it. Of course if it's already old and crispy this isn't any big deal, but I can tell you if you paid over $750 for the new one it has some meaning.
I'd wrap the extra connectors in silicone self-fusing tape if it's not too inconvenient. You just never know what your next buy or sell will be.
