Give us an idea on what you're removing (as,ps,cc,wiper fliuid, brakes lolz) and you'd probably get a better response. And it also depends on if you want to extend wires and run them through the fender, or just hide them. Personally, I've been teaching my self to solder, and soon i'll be extending alot of my harness and rerouting it.

I meant what you want to KEEP out. Do you want to completely remove AC? PS? CC? Windshield sprayer nozzles?

the battery is easy. take the wire that runs from the fuse block to the battery and run it to the starter along with the new wire your gonna use to relocate the battery. then run the wire through the car to where its gonna go. ground it and hook it up and your done. took me 20 min.

Why do you want to wait until winter to do it? Why not do it now while the weather allows you to work outside in comfort. lol

doing it during winter, people tend to mess up when they dont want to wait for the paint to dry.
wire tuck is straight forward. you hide what you dont want to see.
look up DIY if your confuse where to hide the wire.
your over thinking it.
