I want to get rid of as many wires and crap that i dont need (Carbed 350, not TBI 305) , do i need to keep the computer or anything but the wires that go directly to the gauges to keep them working?

Gauge wiring goes to the bulkhead (next to brake booster). Gauges are independent of the ECM wiring

The speedo needs to keep some additional wiring that is next to, but not related to, the ECM.
