Hello C3 Wire harness Guru's
I have a 71 454 Mid February production car, no AC car automatic only options rear defroster pw,ps, 15 years in restoration and continuing!!!
The car had a replacement wiper motor that I tossed 15 years ago. Recently bought a restored wiper motor and installed a 3 port pump and I bought a replacement front wire harness years and years ago supposively for non AC car automatic
Picture 1 is the extra wire with clip and I have no idea where it goes. Could this be for an AC car and if so should I just wrap it up and tuck it under the wire harness
Picture 2 is the black wire that also comes out of the wire harness. it has a looped end attachment and no way will it fit the supposedly ground clip on the wiper motor. I added this L shape clip thinking it should be there like my 68 and 69 wiper motor. I could be wrong so should I take off this clip and add it my for sale bin.
Picture 3 is this long wire harness that floats towards the passenger side. I some what saw in an assembly manual what it was for so I just routed it towards the passenger side. Now I can't figure out where it goes.
Picture 4. I was just reading on the discussion board - Jack Humphrey replied to a post-- If the black wire exits the firewall harness in the 'Y' area (around/below the WSW motor), my guess is it's the discrete ground for the '71-only CEC control relays that mount on a L-bracket extending from the driver side, upper, firewall. Without a ground reference (L-bracket mounts to non-conductive fiberglass), the CEC system is 'helpless' in terms of operability....
So should I mount the black wire right behind the bolt.
I appreciate all you help in advance. After 15 or 18 years its coming along.....was off work on Covid for 5 months so I finally got a lot of work done on the car....but now back to work again
Thanks for your help in advance

Update
I just found out that long wire with double clips goes to the drivers side of the solinoid end. I just installed. two more things to figure out.
Update 2
found out the black wire with clip goes to the L shaped clip on the wiper motor for ground
The wiper motor with the red wire is clipped on with another red wire with black clip. It was hidden behind all the wire harness.
So I just have to figure out what picture one is where that clip goes to.
