What do these wires control?

So i was striping the interior out of my 84 trans am to install my cage and found something upsetting. The wiring harness that goes through the passanger side kick panel into the fender has all the wires cut off. What do all these wires control? I'm doin a lax swap right now, so I'm not sure that I'll need them, but please let me know.

So the passenger side is a harness as well? The engine hqness I used for my lax is the c100 on the drive side.

yes, the stock engine harness connects to the ecm and goes through the kick panel area and comes out of the fender inside the engine bay on the passenger side, if you wanna clean that up just make sure you cover that hole otherwise water is gonna leak through.

Ok, good. I basically almost **** myself when I saw it had been hacked up.

nah, and since you are doing a swap you dnt really have to worry about the stock engine wiring so thats good.

one question tho, was that a typo is it LSX instead of LAX?
