Can I get rid of these Wires (engine bay)? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am trying to clean up my engine bay and would like to get rid of wires that are no longer needed. Or, things that are also not needed. I have attached pictures of some things that I have questions about. Will I need these? Can I get rid of them? I have a 5.3 swap. All information will be greatly appreciated.

You don't need windshield wipers?

Yes I do, is that for the wipers? What parts are for the wipers?

Keep the wiring going to the first thing you circled. Im assuming it gives power to the actual wires as well as the pump for windshield wiper fluid. Im not sure what the green wire is for but the color and from what I can see from the picture, it almost looks like the wire that would run to the horns.

Are you looking at a wiring diagram? Looks like you cut a couple big power wires by the bulkhead connector. I would just move stuff to the side, label it and wait to see if you need it for your swap.

That first pic is your battery power supply feed for your AC blower relay. You need wipers too.

The green wire looks like someone added it,Do you have anything aftermarket like a alarm or trailer brake controler?
