Hi all, I have a 84 Z/28 that now has one of Hawks LSx K-members w/ rack and pinion. looking for motors, but I am having problems removing the old engine harness. I have not ordered my LS1 harness yet.. was waiting until I got my old one out. Could anyone point me to some diagrams/how to ect
Thanks

well, sometimes quality of the answer depends on quality of the question 
Have you tried to remove it? or are you just asking how to do it? The only way to really remove it is using your hands (and sometimes a screw driver) Most of it is straighforward.
If you have specific questions, then you might want to ask them.
Just start disconnecting stuff.
There are two connectors that connect engine compartment wiring to the other stuff inside the car.
- first one is on passanger side inside the door jamb (or somewhere in there). All you have to do is pull the trim from the inside and remove the clip.
- second one is on the firewall in front of the driver. That one should have a bolt going through the middle. Take the bolt out and you are done.
I did my wiring a while back and didn't label anything because I think each connector already had a number or some ID on it. (probably, don't really remember anymore )

Thats what I needed to hear, I just needed a starting point. Just looking at all those wires is intimidating
Alot of things seem to tie into the engine harness, such as blinkers and windshield wiper motor. I still have the black protective covering on my harnes so I guess those can be seperated
And sorry about the question lacking details, I'm a noob as you can see. Thanks for the help tho

yeah, I know how that can be. I am a noob myself. First off, I don't know if you have helms manual for the car yet. If you don't go and by one right now. It is a bit pricey but when you factor in all the other stuff you will buy for this car, it is worth its weight in gold. It also has ALL electrical diagrams.
Otherwise, like I said. Disconnect one connector at a time. You don't even have to remove that protective plastic (I don't think) and eventually everything will converge at the two harnesses I already mentioned.
It can be intimidating the first time you look under the hood, but once you stare at things for a little while and try to follow where the stuff is going, it will all make sense.
