Default how to wire a mid mounted engined car

I am going to fit a 1996 ej20 turbo engine and gearbox into my special. I need help with the wiring, there is no ABS on the car. In fact it is just the basics I require. I believe that you have to "pin out' the unwanted loom.Thank you.

Default My Brabini project, Subaru mid mounted engine.

I am fitting a WRX engine and box in my Brabini, it had an Alfa 1.7 boxer engine fitted. I am a little unsure about the wiring loom and which to pin out?

there are a couple of people-companys that can mod the Subaru loom so it will more or less just piggy back off the current loom ,,, this is how my VW camper was done with its Subaru turbo conversion ,,, its not the cheapest way but well worth the money involved

Yes it's always good to see what people are doing.
I hope to get the engine in and connect the whole loom up and get it started. Then gradually remove all the auxiliary wiring thats not needed. I'm not an electrician, but have a logical mind which has got me through over the years.
Are you in Ossett, what have you got? My car is in Stanley.
