any easy ways to take out the wiring harness of a TPI without cutting it and making a mess, i'm using no sensors or other wires except the starter wires and the ele. fans, which i'm going to wire up seperately

Simply disconnect all the connections. Then pull the wire looms off the body.
I removed a '86 harness in about 30min(actually a bit more cause there are wires connected to the transmission so I had to get under there)
I only had to cut 5 wires cause I couldnt get to them. They were sandwiched between the block and firewall.
