V1 Engine Wiring Harness - what wires are not needed?

[JeffsGoblin]

Besides the AC and the two fan connections, what else can be removed from the engine harness?

Not much else. The small connector that goes to the purge solenoid can go. You will want to keep the primary fan wire, it will get extended to the front.

What do you mean by the primary fan wire? I already pulled the two electric fan connections since I thought they weren't used back in the engine area.

What is this connection for and can I pull it from the engine wiring harness? I thought it was for the AC line.

No you can remove that. I do think that is the AC....He is referring to the big blue fan wire thats from one of the engine harness blocks, which is also part of the radiator fan wires that you may have cut out. Not a big deal. If you've already cut it out, just unpin the one with the blue wire and extend it. You'll end up attaching it to the defroster wire to power the radiator fan once you have it installed. Here is someones image just follow the blue wire. If you've completely removed it already, someone will likely be able to chime in and tell you which pin it is.

Thank you for the response! My fan setup wasn’t like that since I have the SS/SC, but I understand what is needed. I did pull the pin and of course didn’t take a picture.

Does anyone have the pin location of the light blue main fan wire on the fuse box connector?

Yours will be just like the video here:

This will be enough to figure out where it was.

I bet you are right! You da man! Thanks!

While thinning the engine wiring harness, did anyone take out the second O2 sensor wiring?

We did out of fear but it's not needed. It's for checking the operation of the cat.

Is the canister purge valve or the device below it still needed on the Goblin from my 07 SS/SC?

 

[ctuinstra]

The EVAP purge solenoid is not needed. The SC bypass solenoid is! You show both in the photo. The larger one on the top I believe is the purge solenoid. Make sure before you cut it out.

This is what you need...
