I got the 86 with out an engine, but they left all the heaters, wires and so on, what do i need to leave?

I just want to have a running car, no heater/ac, etc

should i keep the computer in it?

 

is the 461 a carbed motor (I'm guessing yes). In that case all you need is a driver's seat. Take out the whole dash if you like. Swap to manual stearing to save weight, aluminum guage cluster. No carpet or interior panels. A full cage and there you go.

 

thanks wes, but I'm already a head of you on that one, I was wondering a little more about the computer and the ignition and guages

 

the gauges in these cars have nothing to do with the ECM, so yes you can remove it

 

thank you thats what i wanted to hear

anyone know of else to keep before i start pulling wires.....I'm keeping head lights and tail lights, so I'll have to mark them so i don't pull then out

what about the evap. canister?

 

Someone had to be the master of the obvious. So I stepped up.

 

Go to the passenger side fender where the harness comes into the engine bay from the inside with a pair of wire cutters. Seperate out the solid blue and solid green wires...

Cut everything else on that side.

Go to the driverside... Don't cut anything.

Computer wiring removed from the engine bay, drink beer and congradulate yourself.

 

LOL, I can handle that, but what are the blue and green ones for? and won't the computer be screwed up if I only keep these wires?

 

The blue and green wires are for the back up lights, thats all. Once you have removed all those wires the computer will not be hooked up to anything except the few connections it has under the dash. I did mine wire by wire felt stupid after I had spent 2 days tracing everyone just to remove everything. All the starting, charging, lights, guages, etc stuff comes in through the drivers fender. With my 86 the only things I lost by removing every wire from the passenger side was backup lights.
