ECU in boot, pretty sure the rest you can see! That's as far as my knowledge goes

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
