Engine harness when removing engine

[1sickmx6]

Ok guys I am new to turbo buicks and I just bought one with a spun bearing. I started taking the engine out today and I am wondering what you do with the wiring harness. Do you unhook every component from the engine and set it aside or do you have to remove the heater pannel and take the computer end of the wiring harness out? Or am I just plain missing something here.

PS is there anything else I should watch out for pulling the motor, and am I better to take the tranny off before pulling the motor or take them out together.

Thanks Brandon.

Just set it a side. There are a bunch of connectors and I am pretty sure that each one is unique and will only go back to one sensor.

Remove tranny bolts from engine. Tie the tranny up to firewall. Easy to do unless you have the front end off the car. In that case pull 'em together...

Just zip-tie the harness to something on the drivers side out of the way...also zip-tie the harness...at the middle of the firewall...to the hood bump stop...that keeps it out of the way when pulling the motor...here's a pic

After looking at it today I thought it might be easier to pull them together I guess will see when I get all the harness off now.

Does any one have a vaccum diagram?

In what I took off today I found a lot of mickey mouse stuff in my engine bay and am glad I decied to remove everything.
