We've pulled them as a complete unit, but we knew this engine and trans would both need rebuilt, so we went ahead and separated them. That's a great point about the neutral safety connector!

I've been harvesting LS lately with my bro and when we pay for a "complete engine" we get all of the pig but the squeal. We even save AC compressors if the system looks freshly emptied. We get the full harness and drive by wire pedals when so fitted since it doesn't cost extra. I already had a towable engine run stand we're equipping with a simple standalone harness made from donor wiring and will remove ATS so each computer we harvest with the engine or drivetrain is usable by us or future buyers. The computer fun will be easy for anyone who knows how to flash firmware on anything else and there is plenty of software available...one way or another. We cut the frame rails after unbolting (we don't trash good sheet metal because that's rude) or cutting off the fenders and core support etc. We unbolt the steering column slip joint then recip saw the frame rails so the drivetrain rolls forward hanging off the torsion bars (no torches permitted or I'd have snipped those in a minute). Vans don't have torsion bars and that's a good thing when cutting off the front frame since it's even easier. www.amazon.com/Diable-Reciprocating-Blades-Cutting-Dismantling/dp/B07DNJN4PK kick so much ass we often make all our frame, line and sheet metal cuts using only one blade. Our local salvage yard issues them to their guys. Run harvested seat belts or get fancy with your own sling beneath the exhaust manifolds and the salvage yard forklift pops the complete drivetrain out with no fuss. Those coolant bottles get brittle so unless they feel flexible we leave them. Check out the dual electric fans on some trucks and SUVs because they're much nicer than a waterpump mounted unit and usually dirt cheap.

Hello Rodney. This is one of my favorite videos to watch. I have a blast when I tear down a doner. I will have to sit down and watch this video and get back to you.

Sounds like you did alright. The wires on the right hand side that run along the frame are the O2 sensor wires and that is where that engine harness ends.

There is the connector that runs down the driver side and ends up plugging into the transmission and the speed sensor on the right side. That would be all of them. Let us know what your working on.
