I'm not sure where this thread really belongs, so if any of you think I'll get a better response in another section, let me know.
I'm in the process of using a 98 SVT Contour driveline in the back of a 1990 Geo Metro for a 24hrs of Lemons racecar. If you're interested, https://www.facebook.com/KnoxvegasLowballers.
My question: How much of the wiring harness can be deleted and still allow full engine control (ie. no limp mode)? Or the better wording might be, what part of the harness or devices are likely for me to delete without reallizing it will keep the car from running (at all or only in limp mode)?
I've got all of the wiring from the donor car, but prefer to not carry over any more wiring than is really necessary. I expect that I need the sensor around the ignition switch and the key from the donor car. I'm going to retain the fuel safety shutoff (collision switch). I don't intend to keep the airbag circuit, airbag sensors, or airbag controls. Is that going to cause a problem beyond a warning light on the dash?
I plan to use the SVT Contour gages. I'm planning to keep all of the dash wiring as well.
Any other general thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
