ratsnest and electrical connectors

I did a search and nothing came up....

My question is what you guys did after eliminating the ratsnest. Did you leave all the wire connections in place or cut them. I couldn't find a place where to obviousely disconnect them.

I personally like to get rid of them since it will clear up the area to work on the injectors and will probably look cleaner even with the intake manifold on.

Any experience or opinions

Thanks
Claus

Some people cut them others don't. I think it's all a matter of your preference.

I tore down the wiring harness and completely removed unused wires and plugs. Don't recommend it if you don't know what you are doing though (please, no offense). You can also just cut off the plugs and individually wrap the ends.

I laso unwrapped it and pulled each line out, but it can get tricky if you dont have some exp but i would say it really doesnt get hard till soemthing goes wrong and you have to start trouble shooting.

Agreed. I learned ALOT about that harness doing this project!
