The shop that did my swap left a semi-rat's nest under the hood 1.5 years ago. I need some more space for my oil catch can and coolant breather pot.

I need to know if I can safely cut/tape any of these wires/plugs:

S13 swap. I think I read something about the blue plug being something related to coolant solenoid??? It was actually dangling under the intake manifold (in front of the starter I think)

Well, that last pic: I found that blue harness plug went to the thing right next to the oil cooler that bolts to the underside of the intake manifold. I wonder if that was the source of my "hot start problem" that I've had since I had the swap done

EDIT: It plugged into the "coolant solenoid"...not sure the purpose of this.

Mystery plugs are the best! Just part of the game when you don't do it yourself imo.

I believe those are chassis & wiper plugs that the garage never chopped off except for the last plug

Yeah, the plan was for me to do the swap myself, but s*** happened, had to get it done ASAP :(
