Default sierra wiring loom

hi all.
just looking at my loom now which came from a 1992 1.8cvh sierra.
have labelled up few wires but was just wondering what people have kept and what people have removed.
a nice list would be nice and easier as i am a complete novice when it comes to car wiring.
also does anyone have a list of relays in sierra fuse box and their position number. not in my haynes manual.
any help appreciated
thanks
steve

I plan to build from scratch, there is too much junk in the sierra loom.

there was a simple loom diagram done a couple of weeks back.

I can list the relays and their function ( althought that changes sometimes ) their location may be in the main fusebox or under the dash.

If you want simple then scrapping the sierra loom and building from scratch realy is the way to go.

I used up the old Sierra loom as
a) It costs nothing
b) It has all the correct plugs
c) Its got loads of relays and fuses
d) All the wiring is the correct thickness

BUT....
a) It takes time to shorten all the wiring
b) Working out the feeds in the fuse box took me 3 days!
