Id do the same, the harnesses actually come out quite nicely, at least on
the later cars.  I LOVE your bumper mounts!  First thing to rust out on the
Northern cars but in the south the salt doesn't sit in there year round.

You'll want to remove that canister from your LF wheelwell, it wont function
anymore anyway and those were a tremendous dirt trap that enhanced the rust
of the stiffening boxes.  I left the clamp on with mine but the canister has
been out since 1988.

Nice work!

Well here is a video I took today of us removing the damaged wiring 
harness. It was damage by two fires back in the 80s.  One under the dash 
with my father. Then later in the engine compartment with me when a fuel 
line sprung a leak and shot a stream of gas in the generator. 
Fortunately I had just pulled in to the part store I worked at after 
school and I got my boss to grab the store's fire ext. and put it out.  
Both times the harness was patched up but it never was right again. I 
didn't realize how bad it was till I got it out. I am blessed to have 
this parts car that was only made a few months before mine. The best we 
can tell they both look the same minus the chard wires on the one we are 
putting back in.  As usual comments, complainants, criticisms, and smart 
a@# answers and are welcome. LOL
