wire removal
I have quite a few wires that i no longer use that i wouldlike to delete like wheel speed , abs, water temp, oil pressure etc. I ddon't want to just cut them not knowing if any of them are hot.
Anyone ever remove them fully? What all does it entail?

It can be done I have done it to replace the wires. I started at the component that I wanted to replace /remove the wire from the harness. undone it from the connector and follow it thru the harness and undone it at the bulk head connector or fuse box's and resink wrapped the harness.

I thrimmed mine where is goes into the bigger part of the harness. Cut the wire and put come heat shrink on the end. I should have done like said above but I already had the engine in the car and didnt want to pull the harness back out

How involved are you getting? Is the harness coming out/already out of the car? The factory harnesses are not easy to tear apart, there's tons of tape under all that split loom. Find the wiring diagrams so you can see any junctions (splices) that might be shared by other circuits, and start removing all the stuff you don't need.
I went through my engine harness and deleted everything I don't have anymore, relocated stuff, re-taped and re-loomed tons, etc. It can get intense depending on your amount of clean-up.1997 Pontiac Trans Am WS6 clone | Build Thread | - just needs paint!

Best bet is to yank the body harness out of engine bay and dissemble the block of plastic that seals it to firewall. Then trace and cut.

The ABS has some big powered wires coming out of the fuse box.
That plastic connector on the body harness firewall pass through is filled with this sealant that is SUPER gooey and takes heat to get the wires out. Problem is they're all sealed as is. I'd say pull the body harness, strip everything systematically from the fuse box, then cut at the firewall pass through, then cut on the backside and remove the EBCM and whatever else is inside the cabin.

Your body control module and assorted ABS blocks under the dash.
