Default painless wiring harness for a street car?

Has anybody used one of these before? How easy or hard is it to setup compared to a rewired stock harness? I just need the basics to qualify a SFWD car. The car that I have has no wiring whatsoever in it anymore and it's a preOBD car.

My plan is to run the obd2 engine harness to the engine with an obd2-obd1 adapter and run the painless wiring for interior and all other accesories. I also have access to an obd1 integra interior harness but figured the painless might be easier to delete what I don't need.

Just found these guys. http://www.ezwiring.com They look like nice kits for half the price of Painless.

My car wiring was rough when I got it so I rewired from scratch. I started with a painless fuse box and wired the entire car from there. The engine harness is a 99-00 Si that I removed all the usesless crap from. engine/dash harnesses are totally seperate and can be removed easily.

oh, ok. Let me get this straight. You are running the stock honda VSS and using the stock plug on the engine harness?

Could also look into these guys. They are local to me and I've used a bunch of their products for my race harness and electronics panel. Very helpful people there
