I have an 88 GTA that I'm selling the tpi intake, wiring harness, and ecm to this weekend. I want to yank all that out as quick as possible because I'd be working outside the entire time. I can basically step right up to the motor because the quarter panels and nose are gone.

I have done a cam swap before so I know how all the tpi stuff comes off,...but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions/tips for the fastest way to remove it. Would I be able to unbolt the lower intake and just simply lift everything up?

I have no clue what all the engine and tpi harness include. So i think this will take me the longest time. I don't really want to cut any of the harnesses and I need the digital dash and radio harnesses to stay with the car untouched. Any ideas/tips. my friend told me that I might have trouble running the wires from the ecm through the firewall? Do you think so? Will I need to bring a drill or saw or something? What will I need to remove to access the ecm wires?

 

ECM wires run through a large connector in the side of the car.
On the inside of the car, just unplug the IP harness and the ECM connectors and any other wires that lead into that large bulkhead connector.
Then carefully pull the harness from the outside of the car.

If you have the fender off, you should be able to see this large tubing of wires, this the engine harness that goes into the car,
