Default Using auto harness for JDM ITR to EK swap

I unintentionally wound up using a '97 Ex auto harness. It was misrepresented to me as a manual harness but I decided to use it rather than wait for a manual one. I could have used my existing '98 DX harness but I wanted to get everything wired up and ready to go before I started swapping. There is an extra ecu plug that is used for the automatic trans functions. On a manual ecu there are no pins where this connector goes. I separated all of the wiring and connectors that went to the auto trans ecu connector and removed them. Almost all of it was neatly grouped together. There were also two wires going to the ground pack c116 (brownish block) and three going to connector c131 (green connector that plugs into the car harness near the ecu. I snipped these off about six inches long in case i needed them. There was no back-up light switch wiring in the auto harness so i had to add that. I verified all the circuits were correct before doing the normal wire extending, engine connector swapping and ecu pin moving. So far so good. At least I have plenty of spare ecu connector terminals and extra wire. It is preferable to use a manual engine wiring harness but don't worry if you are stuck with one from an automatic, it will just take a little more work.
