3G Conversion Removing excess wiring

I'm doing the 3G conversion on my truck but am unsure what to do about the old wiring that will no longer be used. Don't really want to just tape it up and leave it. Would prefer completely removing all that isn't needed. Can anyone describe which wires I can remove and where to cut them so that I end up with a neat harness?

Describing would take too many words. How about pics!? Go to page 19 of this thread: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/9...l#post11242241

BEFORE cutting, identify the wiring while it is installed. Then take up the slack by folding the wire against itself and then wrapping it with tape. Now remove the harness from the vehicle for cutting, soldering, and heatshrinking.
