The main engine connections are the starter, the alternator and the coil. Most of the rest is now useless.

Along with engine temp and oil pressure and tach.
The stuff you won't be using goes to the computer via the passenger side fender well, and can be removed in one piece.

I think that depends on the year of the car. My camaros' harness is one piece, the computer wiring being taped together with the wiring coming from the driver side as well.

What five7 said. Also be sure to cover the hole left where the harness passes through the body to keep water and unwanted guests out. I used a plate I made from aluminum.

The V6 tach is now useless, and the V8 will run without a tach, or a temp gauge, or an oil pressure gauge. And it being a base model, they're probably useless idiot lights instead of useful gauges anyway.
