If you are carbing, all you need is the driver side harness - everything on pass side is solely ECM wiring which you won't need. The Painless is PAINFUL on the wallet from what I understand - I'd check local JY for a harness first.

Yes - all basic functions are on the driver harness, including lights and everything - pass harness only had computer controlled stuff. All guages and everything will work fine with only driver side harness.

The Bilsteins and the Eibachs I really like alot. With all new front suspension (tie rod ends, ball joints, etc.), the wonderbar, & the strut tower brace - it all rides really well.

Here's my photobucket link - can see some of my pics there: http://s287.photobucket.com/albums/ll121/jw_baum/92RS/

the driver side harness (C100) is actually 2 connectors clipped together. one is for the headlights and the other is for guages/fuses/etc. many of the wires can be removed if all emissions and sensors are being done away with

Like I said, everything you need is on the driver side harness if swapping to carb - the pass side harness is only ECM functions which you'll no longer need.

May I suggest leaving the pass side harness in there, and just tucking it into the fender where it's unseen? I did this, and I use those wires all the time - it's an unlimited source of wiring that already runs from inside to outside - I use them for fan switches, fog lights, underhood lighting, TC lockup - alot of stuff - it's great having all thise wires to utilize instead of running new wires through the firewall all the time.
