Post exact weights of weight reduction you have done!
The engine harness is pretty straight forward to slim down. I wouldn't be too intimidated by it.
If you are pulling the A/C, AUX fan, disabling the clutch safety and ditching the fuel pump resistor and going high impedance injectors, you can clean things up nicely. There is a relay box attached to the side of the main fuse box. Off the top of my head, these are the relays in it:
A/C compressor
AUX Fan HI speed
AUX Fan LO speed
Clutch Safety Interlock
MFI Power
You can cut down that whole box to the one single MFI relay. The plate on the firewall with the heat shinks can be eliminated if you get away from the staged fuel pump control and use high impedance injectors.
There is a larger connector by the relay box that once you move things around, you can elimiante this connector as well. Do these fairly simple things and it will really clean up the engine harness. You can do this without getting into removing the dash as the engine harness can be completely removed from the car without removing the dash.

as for all that other stuff i have no clue what any of that is. LOL. so im guessing it is all still there.
o and i messed something up somewhere because my key less entry clicker does not work. i thought the battery died but i replaced it and still it is not working. so i am guessing when i farted with the wires i removed one i shouldn't have. now i just have to remember to manually lock the car.
Awesome looking harness! If you don't mind me asking, where'd you run your charge harness and headlight harness through? I want to relocate everything behind my glove box, but can't decide the best route to run those two harnesses through the firewall.
The headlight harness will run through the panel behind either one of the fenders like it does from the factory. You can run the charging harness separate or on a bulkhead post like I did.
Did you run it through the same bulkhead as your engine harness or a seperate one?
For what, the charging? No I made a new hole. For the headlight stuff it already has giant holes behind the fenders.
Before I battery to the trunk I drilled a small hole in the factory plate for the factory charging harness, but when I moved the battery to the back I upgraded the wire size and wanted a true easy to remove engine and harness assembly so I installed a bulkhead connection for charging/starting.

If you want to label plug ends you can buy a printer that prints on heat shrink. My ****s not labeled because I think it defeats the purpose of a "tuck" harness and I know what connectors go where. Printers I think are around $50. I did run across a supply place that will print heat shrink labels for you but can't recall the name.
I weighed my car the other day, it is 2720 with me in it in street mode (seats in and OEM enkei's on). Yes the scale is accurate, I weighed my stock Evo daily driver and was well over 3400lbs with me in it lol. Race mode would be without the front passenger seat, rear seats out, and 15" slip streams on which is another 130lbs off the car.
Car has all luxuries with power everything including oem sunroof minus A/C. Has 100% full interior panels also
