Default Easiest way to run Rywire harness thru firewall? (Without cutting the wires)

For my D15B VTEC swap into my 91 CRX Si, I bought one of these:

http://www.rywire.com/sitodvtec.shtml

Which came with all that I needed to convert to OBD1... But my only problem is, it came with the connectors already attached for VTEC... Which Im glad, this is a good thing... But I cant figure out how to run the harness thru the firewall without cutting off the black plug and resplicing them on the other side... Does anybody have any other ideas?


Heres some pics of the black plug I am talking about...





And one of the dirty engine bay for the road!




Thanks in advance!

Take off the charcol canister from the firewall, you can feed it through the ac line hole, or the factory harness hole, your choice.

I always use the ac hole if the car has no ac...

Since im going OBD1 do I even need that charcol canister? Or can I just remove it altogether?

But thanks guys... Since I want to keep A/C Ill probably try and feed it thru the factory harness...
