wiring to keep?

when i pull my TBI 350 to swap in my 383TT carb. what wiring do i need to keep in the engine bay? any? I still wan tto use as many stock gauges as i can, but i am going to clean up the engine bay and remove/relocate anything i can. The car wont see much street time and for sure wont be needing the heat and/or A/C. Probably wont be keeping the wipers either. I just want to make sure i dont get rid of anything i will need.

The engine/harness/wiring is most likely going to my buddy as he wants to build a similar engine as mine, but a 350 instead of 383.

Pretty much all of the passenger side wiring is scrap keep all of the driver side.And if your getting rid of the computer you will need a torque converter lockup switch.

I have a 5-speed trans.

So the ECM doesnt control any of the gauges? my speedo doesnt work right now anyways, it isnt hooked up and i cant seem to find a plug on the harness that will fit the sensor.

I can only tell you what I know from my car I dont know about all years. I have a 84 Z28 and the ecm controls distributor,carb,and all sensors from what I have dealt with. Anything thats in the fuse box you need to keep.
