Wiring
Wiring is the most year-specific part of an LS Gen Coupe swap. Colors and pinouts change between BK1/BK2 and 2.0T/3.8 models. Always verify with a multimeter and your factory service manuals before cutting or splicing.

Passenger-Side Fuse Box
If you want to keep factory A/C function, keep the passenger-side fuse box and the stock ECU (or at least the harness sections that feed A/C). Otherwise you can simplify and remove more of the factory engine harness.
Key wires pulled from the passenger-side area. Labels match the functions below.
Key wires commonly used from this box:
- Large pink — Starter signal. Wire directly to the small stud on the starter.
- FP (fuel pump) — OEM fuel-pump power (often red/white). Use as a trigger for a dedicated fuel-pump relay (or to the Holley green FP wire if you already have a relay). Also available near the driver's kick panel if you prefer to keep it out of the bay.
