Some wire tuck advice please?

For moving stuff under the dash on the passenger side, do I just chop it right off and run the wires or is there some less brutal way to do it?

Chop? What are you going to move? From what I've seen, on Honda's, their is a connector, on every wire or set of wire's and if you can find them, you just need to unplug or plug them in. When I added a/c to the 87, I cut wire's, taking it out of the junker. Putting it back in, I found every wire I cut had a connector that I could have just unplugged.

Dan,

Anyone who's had first hand experience with a wire tuck, which is what I'm asking for, will know what it is, so that's why I didn't explain, cuz it would be redundant to those I need answers for.

But anyway, a wire tuck is just hiding all the wiring in the engine bay. Currently I'm asking if I need to cut the wires to move the passenger strut mount plug and fuse box inside, because they won't fit through any holes in the firewall.

You probably need to de-pin / re-pin. Just do it one "plug" at a time and draw a diagram.
