AC install, what to do with old wiring

[70chevellemalibu]

as title says, in my 70 Chevelle i installed a vintage air system. What do I do with all the old left over wiring from my factory heater/fan/light? I don't want to cause a "hot" wire short and maybe start a fire?

thoughts?

really no body did anything?

Unless you're willing to open the harness and remove the now unused wires, I'd clip the connectors, shrink wrap the wire end, fold the wires back on the harness and tape them off. It's ugly. The option is to open the harness and remove the unused wires. Bunch more work, but IMO the best way to make the change

I'd say save all the old AC stuff since numbers matching BB build guys (like myself) are more than willing to re-finish OEM parts if building a scarce car. I wouldn't hack anything up anyway-if I went the route you did, I'd carefully remove anything not used anyway.

I used the main power feed(fused) to operate other equipment on the car. The main wire that goes into the engine compartment hidden and capped off in the harness for future use for something you need fused or switched 12v going through the firewall and fuse box keeping everything nice and neat. I have a painless harness so your mileage may vary.
