Default calling all who have done a b series swap

alright so i have pretty much gutted the entire car for paint/b series swap... i have been working on removing the harness from the engine bay and find myself stuck... i have removed the engine and disconnected all plugs under the hood and removed them from their zipclip mounting point.

what i am having issues with is how to pull the harness through the fire wall it seems to run the whole width of the car on the inside and i cant seem to find the end of it... looking for some help has anyone done this before or am i doing way to much work than its good for? thank you

If you do all this, you might as well wire tuck everything under the hood. If you have the time and the patience, have at it.

I left my harness all alone and everything is still fine. I didn't remove anything that I didn't need.

Sounds good. It only creates problems anyways...

Look through my thread and see if it helps you a bit.

its the same as the passenger side. just push on the boot thats on the firewall and it would simply go into the cabin.
