finishing up the swap and just a couple things i cant quite remember

theres a plug wrapped in clear plastic in the interior drivers side near the fuse box..i cant seem to find anything that it connects to..

engine ground wire, i know there was one but i cant remember where it went to and stuff..

theres 2 plugs in the engine bay on the drivers side that i believe went to the aiv thing (i removed it) but naturally i dont remember and cant find a pic to confirm it.

i believe thats it for now..haha

okay im assuming from what ive read that the main engine ground is the one on the mani that connects to the chassis and then the neg battery terminal??

if this is right i thought there was one on the back of the engine that connects to the firewall?

still cant find pics...lookign lol

You got the main engine ground correct.

Also the other ground you are thinking of goes from the head to the firewall(stock is a small braided cord to a clip on the firewall).

dont worry about the plug with the clear plastic around it, you dont need to mess with it and ive never seen it connect to anything(maybe a diagnostic port).
