Some questions about donor stripping

Right thats the engine out...nut splitter and a good impact gun did the trick...bust the nut splitter on the last nut so its back to screwfix for sa replacement...forgetting to mention the use of buzz gun !!!.....ANOTHER question....how much of the loom do i carefully remove ? i have the ECU out but by god do i have more other parts of the loom ie ABS (not needed) Bulb failure unit ...wondering if the whole lighting loom goes through that....any assistance regarding 2.0 DOHC loom would be very much appreciated....

I would junk everything apart from the engine loom. there's an excelent wiring diagram thread for a simple loom that will cover all you need.

The donor loom ( in my opinion having owned, stripped, fixed rebuilt countless sierras + granada and scorpio ) would take more time and effort than building a new custom loom.

Firstly thanks for your help TT But i am going to be a pest again...i have located the loom from the passengers footwell going to the two multi blocks that connect up to the engine efi and the coil ...but the loom branches off at the multi plug and twists through the dash... how much of this do i need....was trying to get the whole lot out including fuse box ...lost my temper so have to give up for the day...
