Wiring clean up time

Was poking around my engine bay cause I was bored and relized I could clean up the engine compartment more by getting rid of all the wires that are just kinda drapped over the motor...for instance my temp one is coiled up and zip tied Anyway is shortning any of these wires or lengthining some of them going to afect the signal they send...by the way its a crabed V8..so not many to move,but some are way to long and i would like to shorten them up some or make them longer so they go around stuff instead of over.

Yea, those crabed V8's can be a pain .
If it has a CC carb, I wouldn't change the wires going to the top of the carb.
They carry a "tone".
The rest, if you use the same gauge wire, shouldn't be any problem.

Just a holly 4BBL, I think I only have to shorten a few but if any need lengthning I think I just might start new.
