Unused Plugs In Engine Bay

It seems to be getting harder finding the information you want. But anyways, I have some unused connectors in the engine bay just sitting around.

What does everyone do to hide or clean up the bay? Do you cut the plugs and cover the ends, is there a plug that goes on the end, or do you just put all the plugs in one place?

I delooned my harness and covering the wires with that electric braid covering.

When I did a mini tuck I just cut out what I knew I never was using again, dipped multiple times in liquid electrical tape, and finished with real tape before looming them in.

I would label the wires for each connector. Depin the connector and leave the pins installed. Heat shrink the power and signal pins. Leave the ground pins alone or heatshrink or use them as shields. Then twist them around the remaing wires so that they are still on the harness. Then re-loom wire harness.

This way the harness isnt hacked up.
