Help Identifying these 8 pics- Under dash wiring

[RELL88SS]

I'm doing an LS based motor swap in a 88 Monte SS. All week has been nothing but twisting wires together and soldering, trying to read complicated wiring schematics etc. Solder smoke has damaged my brain and lungs :lol:. And my fingers are bleeding and blistering from twisting wires together it hurts to type lol.

Jokes aside I want to clean up the wiring under the dash. Anything that had something to do with old engine I want to remove if I can. Really just concerned with retaining all exterior and interior lighting/controls. I have removed the old computer to the 305 and all its wires that went through the fire wall on passenger side.

Onto the gauge cluster connector I have found a pinout to tell me what wire is what. I've since cut and labeled each wire so I now know what needs to go to the Dakota Digital brain for new gauges.

I cut off the connectors that went to the old ECM and traced some of them back to the steering column area. Where I hope you guys can help me identify by technical term.

REMOVED IMAGE #4. Found out what the top connector is for, not sure about the two bottom ones yet.

Pic #2 is the following:

the black box is the Chime module(for headlights and key)

I think the white relay next to the chime box is for the rear defrost

I'll take a stab at it...

#1 not sure what it's actually called but I believe it's a power source/tap of some kind.

#2 is what I believe they call the convenience center...flahers are hazard and turn signals, white relay is the horn relay and the black box is the Audio Alarm module (seat belts, headlights on etc)

#3 looks like the dimmer switch

#5 looks like ignition switch

#6 looks like the neutral safety/reverse light switch

#7 hmm... white connector might be for the wipers (88 had column mounted wiper control) black one looks like the turn signal wiring?

Hopefully I got at least half of them right...

Thanks fellas, actually got few of the pics identified over on one of the 'other' sites.

Going to go back and edit rest of the pics for future reference.

Got a 88 monte electrical manual from eBay, hopefully it can help with things.
