Help me identify a couple of wires / other questions
Getting the SAAB together but I have a couple of questions.
On the first picture, can I block off the port in the center of the photo that goes to the bottom of the throttle body? It's about 16mm and had a short hose that, if I remember correctly, went to the stock plastic intake tube.
Also in the same pic I positioned a single wire that has a single round connector on the end on top of that port. It's a long wire that come out of the TPS wiring harness. What's it for?
On the next picture is the two fan plugs. I found the plug for the cooling fan on the driver's side harness but I can't find the plug for the AC fan. This harness came out of a 94R that didn't have AC. How can I wire it up to come on with the other fan? I was worried about overpowering the 20A fuse/relay for the normal fan if I just tied them together. I was reading the schematic and there's supposed to be a relay for each.

First pic is the idle air control valve hose spot. If you want to use the idle control valve then you need that left unplugged and going to something. I think.
Second one I would run to both fans. I believe I've seen some people do that just fine. Assuming you're not running huge high power high draw fans.

Woot. Do not need. Wires sure are pretty heavy and it confused me.
I should have taken the time to thin this harness. SO much stuff I don't need but I'm trying to just put it in and get on with my life. Hate electrical stuff.
I have so many unused multipin male connectors behind the cluster. I have everything plugged in that has a receptacle and all harnesses are in place. I think most of it is airbag stuff. Will find out when I try to start it in a week or so.

Air bags are all orange/blue for the sensors and actual air bag.
Here's the one labeled "airbag power supply"
The other one is wider and flatter I think, and has a ford emblem stamped on it. Can't find that one in my tool box. A quick google search showed this:
But it's obviously not the best.
Keep in mind you probably also have power mirrors, cruise control, and other power items if its got the power antenna.

Yeah they must use the same harness for everything. It was a 94R with none of the power stuff. That's what I get for letting it get to be two years from teardown to reassembly. Things get foggy.
