i did a partial wire tuck and a full one.

Which harness are you looking to clean up? EM harness or engine harness? EM harness is going to be easier to work with vs the engine harness which is the driverside harness.

Some tools you will need is;
a good wire stripper
sodering iron & spool
several rolls of 12-16 gauge wires
Multi-Meter (digital preferred)
2-3 rolls of Electrical tape
Lots of shrink wrap
measuring tape
several feet of wire tubing
and most importantly, FACTORY SERVICE MANUAL

If you are working with the EM harness, and you have most or all your emissions equipment deleted, then it makes the clean look more profound.

If you are working with engine harness a bit more is involved and you might need to sit and plan out a course of action.

To start pull whatever harness your doing and lay it out on the floor and learn how to read the FSM wire diagram and trace and record what wires are which.

If your good with electronics i am sure you can figure out the rest, there is a few people that's done wire harness rebuilding that ended just tucking most of it away. It just takes a bit of time searching for it.
