Does the car have ABS, and if so, are you planning on removing the ABS? This will have a bearing on what you can/cannot remove.

do you mean bolts from the 4ws subframe to secure the 2ws subframe?
if so i believe so although i had fresh ones so not 100%
As for the wiring i think you'll have to leave most of it in place then. after removing my 4ws last year i found the wiring harness linked in with the ABS, ended up covering it all and leaving it connected (apart from power) because i didnt want to disturb that lot
