Now that I've got my dashboard out, I'm trying to figure out what some of these connectors go to. To start can anyone ID these?

These two taped together going to nowhere-

This whole sub harness that is only connected by one wire-

That first looks like plugs that go into the fuse box to power optional accessoies, the second is the heater-A/C harness.

Thank you sir! How about these two?

That green box is the speed sensor for the computer so you can dump that when you pull the related computer wires. That other one I'm lost on what it's for.

Awesome, the pink and orange wires on that last one go to these two, the orange goes to that unused connector taped together.

Also unsure on this box and the white relay above it-

Since the pink wire goes to the black power plug (yellow-key power, gray-lights, black-ground, pink-power antenna) for the radio it all then should be for a power antenna set up. Did the Regal have one? That black box is for the seat belt buzzer module, the horn relay, looks like the key buzzer module is missing.

It did have a power antenna. I welded the hole up and shaved it. I have a power antenna that I was using but I'm thinking about getting an antenna windshield since the one I have is a crappy Safelite.

If going with a the windshield antenna you'll have to drill the the hole in the opening in the middle of the base of the windshield frame. The cable that mounts there for it is repoped but not sure if it's a fits all or based off earlier models. It'll work.

If I still had the factory glass I'd leave it alone but that cheapie Safelite windshield is gonna bug me and now that I've got the dash out and the front clip off, it'd be easy to do. The antenna shield will probably get better reception than a powered antenna and its just less "stuff".
