TPI harness questions

I just pulled the entire TPI harness and computer in preparation for my 383ci carb swap. Am I correct in assuming that I do not need any part of the TPI harness? The necessary connections all come from the drivers side firewall (alternator, lights, wipers, etc)
Also, the harness had four bundle connections under the dash: 2 went to the computer and the other two go where? One was a 3-wire bundle and the other is a 14-wire bundle. I know that somewhere in there is the service engine light (3 wire?) and the 14-wire bundle maybe controls the gauge panel?
Either way, these were all part of the TPI harness. I should be good to go wiring everything as long as I put new gauges and sending units in, right? The TCC lockup will be controlled by a vacuum switch on my StreetFighter.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

One connector goes to the burnoff module mounted piggy back to the ECM.
The 3 wire connector I know one goes to the ALCL connector. Not sure about the other two wires in that connector.
