Then you can look on page #3 of this thread starting with post # 65 and see what me and RF did as far as routing the spaghetti of wires that you will have left over. You need to get real familiar with a soldering iorn . Later

Yes, soldering iron skills are a definite plus to have, but for the most part a professional grade crimping tool and barrel wire crimps are just enough to do the job. My preference is to solder and double shrink. Note, that the B-Body bulkhead pass though header contains AC vacuum lines and ECM harness. It's a square looking bracket - see my photos. Needless to say making a square opening in the firewall is tough. I used a 2-1/4 punch (52mm) and standard OE rubber bushing to pass ECM wires since there was none in '75. In your case you should have CCC harness that will have to come out, but you can save OE rubber bushing by gently removing CCC harness wires and replacing them with donor wires. For ease of re-installation I just cut through rubber grommet to allow ease of wire installation. Then I used vulcanizing rubber (windshield) sealant to make it whole again - not very clean, but it good enough.
