350 tpi engine pull, wiring harness connectors

Ive read a few other posts but without any definitive answers.

I am in the process of disconnecting connectors, mounts, hoses to remove my 350 TPI/Auto. I have removed:-

1) A/C compressor, ( to the side )
2) TPI Plenum, runners, baseplate ,rails, injectors
3) Distributor
4) Radiator

I notice that the pax side engine wiring loom goes through the a.i.r / a/c bracket then down to the starter motor. Does this need to be disconnected form the starter and removed from the engine prior to removing or can it stay with the block? do I just need to unplug the connector from the firewall near the brake booster? is that the c100 connector?

I believe next i need to remove:-

5) Bellhousing bolts
6) torque converter to flexplate bolts
7) engine mount bolts

Am i ready to pull then or not, I am going to be doing it by myself, so I don't want to damage any wiring/harness connectors..

any advice appreciated..

If the engine is coming out, then drape all the wiring over the engine and pull it as one big piece

Re: 350 tpi engine pull, wiring harness connectors

your best bet is to unplug anything you think you should better to un plug unneeded stuff then to brake it....your right on track with it jus take your time and suport the motor before removeing the mounts.....lift slow and keep watching for missed connections as you lift it....o and dont forget power steerin lines
