So it begins....

I started ripping out my old knockin 5.7 for a 400 horse ZZ4 with sum giggles attached to it later on.

So im stripping the engine bay of most things i dont need for the new carb, whjat can i keep and what not. I think the passenger harness is for the computer and all of it can go. The drivers side is all i need, i hope im right.

So up to the water pump the engine bay is empty, the top of the motor is off and i us need to jank it next weekend and start cleaning and painting, then i can drop the new motor, wish me sum luck...

I believe there are a couple wires needed from that passenger side harness. When I pulled my 305 half of it was obviously fuel injection so I cut that, and still quite a bit left. Was unsure so I left it then I saw a post on here and remembering seeing something along the lines of dont cut everything over there.

Sorry this doesnt help much, but wait until someone who has done this to chime in to be absolutely sure.
