I am not clear on how much of the wiring loom I need. Is it wise to take the dash loom? I have pulled the engine with the engine harness (see pic), gearbox, identified the EWSII components and the MAF sensor wiring..

Should I:

(a) snip out all of the non-EWSII wiring in front of the glovebox and and pulling the harness through the firewall?
(b) pull the entire dash loom?
(c) say bugger it and cut the wires for the antenna, transmitter and EWS control box, leaving as much of the wiring I can?

This is what you need to remove as far as ECU and EWS is conerned, make sure you keep the keys from the donor car as they have the chip in them. Otherwise, just the engine loom from under the bonnet
