I need help identifying these wires

Sorry about the title. It should have been "I need help identifying these wires"

I recently bought this car & I was switching the wire looms when I ran across wires cut & pushed back in the looms. It had a chevy motor in it before I got it & maybe thats the reason they cut them. I just want to know what they go to. Thanks!

1st. on this set of wires all 4 of the wires farther to the right side are cut on the end. They were in the same loom with both of those red wires & the pink one.

2nd. On this second bundle of wires all of those are cut in the back. The only thing left is the map sensor, the little box that looks like a relay & another thing. Are any of those needed for a engine thats not computer controlled?

3rd. This hose & the connector come from under the brake booster. I know the one wire with the ring on the end goes to the firewall but I have no Idea where the connector or the hose goes

Ask and ye shall receive.

That should be the complete ECU harness that comes out of the firewall under the heater box. This harness only contains ECU wiring, so you should be able to remove the complete harness as a unit if you disconnect the ECU under the dash and remove the retainer on the firewall. The inner fender usually needs to be removed or at least loosened to access the retainer.

Hose and connector both go to the cruise control actuator.

Much as I'd like to THINK I'm that good, in reality all the 81-88 G-body cars have pretty much the same wiring. I've got 82, 84, and 86 CSMs and the wiring is nearly identical in all cases.
