1989 Firebird interior torn down need advice

i I’ve got a project 1989 Firebird on hand and the guy helping me had to move out of state and he was the know everything kind of guy and I was learning but what I’m asking is hehe there’s a lot of wires under the dash board I’ve connected most but I’ve lifted the steering column to bolt it down there was a really big set of cords coming from drivers side and it goes over the column but it’s either a right fit, in the way, or not supposed to be there and found out there’s ground wires and a bunch of boxes that I can’t seem to find where they should go and wiring diagrams aren’t easy to understand and I have the book but it’s not showing me what I’m looking for unless I’m looking over it I can get pics for a better understanding of what I’m asking and sorry for the really long explanation

The thick taped bundle over the steering column does go there. Very tight fit without much wiggle room. It goes behind the dash and has plastic pegs that snap into holes in the dash. Not the easiest thing to assemble.

Correct me if I am wrong, but that last module is an aftermarket glass breakage/tamper sensor.

In your case, the presence of aftermarket wiring is only going to complicate your situation...

Good luck!

Ok do you know what the first one is? I might have forgot to mention it’s got an ls 5.3 in it
