Again, thanks for the response and info.Yes, you can jump the Neutral switch(DTR) for starter motor activation, you can also hijack the 2 reverse light wires
16-pin connector can just be tied up or cut off, there are 2 12volt wires in there so KEY OFF if cutting wires
At the expense of sounding like an idiot, I'm going to try and verify the possibilities here with a pretty terrible diagram. Excuse my ignorance, I just don't want to mess anything up after going through all this. (Suffice to say, this project has snowballed well beyond the value of the vehicle....as they often do)
Is the thought I can just plug the whole auto harness back in (gray and black square plugs) to the engine harness, seal off the one with the metal clip on it (assuming that's the 16 pin), plug in the O2 as expected, then extract and/or temporarily jump some of the circuits in the other two plugs, and it should run?
And then if that's a yes, do I need to do anything with the clutch switch plug that's still plugged into whatever it's plugged into considering I don't want to use a clutch switch?
