Yeah, it would be really hard to do an engine harness tuck without having your motor there to test fit. There would be too many variables: What engine you're running, abs, cruise control, what intake manifold you have, etc.

-Techflex, heatshirnking, etc should be STANDARD. It's cheap and makes a hell of a difference, don't make it an option
-The stock fuse boxes are garbage, get some aftermarket fuse panels and go from there, not only room to expand, but a lot smaller
-I don't know if you're removing anything, but cut out all the unnecessary crap, there's usually wiring for things you don't even have/options. It makes a big difference in size of the harness
-The location you have might seem good, but it looks like it will be in the way of your feet/legs. What you should do is pull out the glove box, and mount the new panels back there(behind it), it will clean it up a lot
Also, since you're inquiring about people paying...it must look good! No one will pay if it looks half asses or not complete, even if it's dirty it can kill a sale. People like seeing stuff nice and neat. My advise would be do what I said above, then take some pictures, you will probably get a lot more interest that way.
Thanks for the criticism.
I solder and heatshrink everything along with the stock type sheathing where necessary. Techflex is not that cheap, and it has to be ordered. Also, I thought it was too perforated to be used outside of the cabin or engine bay. Techflex is good for engine harnesses because it keeps things flexible and isn't as ugly as the normal tubing or just having taped wires. I think having 6 feet of it under the dash is overkill, but that's up to the buyers I suppose.
I agree the stock fuseboxes suck, but some people want to keep them in the stock setup for an easy diagnoses. If someone finds a sweet aftermarket fuse box that they want put in, that's no problem at all for me. I can print out a diagram for it too. The ugliest part about the harness is the stock fusebox because they are old and dirty and there's a mass of wires going in and out of it. Even with organization in the back it's hard to get it to look nice.
I can remove anything. I removed a ton of stuff on mine: ac wiring, abs, etc. And that isn't just clipping and taping wires, I completely removed the pins on the SMJ and took the wires out. That would for sure be an option to anyone.
The picture above is with the fuse box pulled out of its normal position. With everything in place it sits behind the ecu and you can fit the kick panel over it like stock. You can't see anything with that panel in place. If you have the blower motor in your car still, there is zero room behind the glovebox. You can barely fit the harness between the glove box and blower motor.
I could take any kind of special request from a buyer as long as it doesn't involve adding things I don't have available. I don't have a supply of special connectors and I can't wire up alarms or anything like that unless I have some detailed diagrams of where you want it and what connections need to be made. If you wanted it routed differently, that would be fine too as long as I can test fit it on my car.
When I have some free time I'll fix up the extra harness I have and take some pics of the install in my car. I can tell there's at least a little bit of interest in this. I'm not trying to make a living, it's just something fun that I can do to make a little extra cash. And there wouldn't be a huge price tag on it either. I'd have to sit and think about how long it takes me to do it, cost of supplies, and shipping but it certainly wouldn't be close to $500 as mentioned above.
I can remove the dash sometime soon and snap some pics because that's where most of the action happens. It's a tight fit under there with all that extra wiring, but Everything fit back together with no problems.
