Default tidying up engine bay (hiding stuff)

lately I've really been getting into cleaning up the engine bay. i was wondering to all you who have moved the fuse box, where inside did you put it?
did you have to lengthen any wires?
how did you run the wire harness?
any secret location where the engine harness plugs mate with the chassis harness plugs?
anywhere incognito to run the wires into the cabin?

any and all tips / pictures would be wonder full.

TIA

Im moving the under the hood fuse box to the glove box area. ive already test fit it and i did not have to leghten any wires at all. But i do not have a glove box in my car (due to the damn annoying chatter that it gave off.) Ive been working on making a custom harness for the past few months to eliminate the stock bulky harness.

I'm not being an ***, but what is the benefit of this? Sounds interesting.

is it possible to place the fuse box and the battery where the A/C condenser used to be?

need more info on where to run wires and where to hide things.

A buddy of mine moved his fuse box into the cabin, right underneath his glovebox in his EJ
I'll see if he can get on here and explain how he did it.
