89 IROC-Z engine aperance

I'm in the process of buying an 89 IROC-Z w/350 tpi.The smog stuff has been removed and the wires going to the air intake at the front of the motor has been cut. the car sounds good and othere than the temp gauge not working right now looks to be in order. should I even bother to fix the wires not related to the temp gauge. oh yes only paying 1600 for the whole car.so if fixing this stuff would help the value,i'm game.thanks bobby

I would fix anything that I needed to work like the temp guage. Wires going to things that don't work like the air/smog I would remove. The cleaner the engine bay the better.

Needs pics to really tell.
