I've searched on here and didn't find what I would consider a definitive answer. I'm currently addressing the wiring mess that is my car and trying to draw up a game plan to better wire the car. The GCR states: "Wires and connectors in the engine wiring harness may be modified or replaced." So two questions: 1) does that also mean removal 2) what about wires elsewhere in the car belonging to things that no longer are in the car, (like the radio/speakers for example)? I'm not looking to shed a few pounds, I could lose more by just hitting the gym more frequently, but want to pare down the extraneous wiring to make trouble shooting easier. The wiring is nearly as old as I am, and certainly more brittle.

Thanks for any advice.
