Default manual transmission swap wiring help

ok guys im finishing up my manual swap and am a little confused about the wiring that needs to be done. I have read the write-ups on honda-tech and a couple other forums with no such luck. The question is what really needs to be wired up the the clutch pedals. Im pretty sure the one switch is for cruise control and since i dont have that i wont need to hook anything up. Now the other switch is so the pedal has to be depressed to disengage the clutch do i need to wire that up or can i bypass it somehow. I think its just a matter of finding the correct wires to splice together. So i think i just need bypass that switch and hook up reverse lights. Can anybody that has done this in a 4th gen help me out. Thanks

my pos dvom

Here's what you can do
1. Solder the two large black/white wires together.
2. Wire up a relay with the two black/white and use the clutch switch.
3. Lengthen the two wires and run them to the switch.

I suggest #2

As for the reverse light's( i still need to hook mine up cuz im lazy)

This should be the reverse light wire.

steveo is right about the starter cut

run two wires to the reverse switch on the trans, then hook the yellow wire and the green one steveo pointed out to each of them, then your reverse lights will work
