What to do about cut wires?

[ArchitectJS]

Previous owner left a mess of cut wires under the hood when he changed the carb and did the Nutter bypass. As noted earlier, I'm about to move the Cherokee to fuel injection.

I want to cleanup all the mess. Can I remove all these wires from the block on the firewall? Or, should I save them for some unknown, future reason, that I may not be aware of? Any ideas?

Can you? Sure. Should you? It's up to you. You can follow the wires back to their connectors and remove them by releasing them from the plastic shell with a small sharp instrument, like a dental pick or jeweler's screwdriver. There is a tab in the brass terminal that locks it in the shell. Remove the redundant wires, toss in a plastic bag and stow them away. You could remove the unneeded block on the firewall too, I suppose. The TSM will show you what it all does and whether it's needed or not.

Don't start poking around from the engine side.

Have to demate the connector and use the probe from the mating side to release the terminal.

Thanks for the replies.

The final page in my TSM is W1, Wiring Diagram Index. Doh!
