Cost effective and time saving tips for a complete re-wire

I'm asking for them. This will be the first logical step when I find a nice 2G shell down the road (a ways down the raod). I plan on gutting it 100% (I will do this) and then give direction on wiring everything in a simple, clean fashion.

I will obviously be able to remove a lot of extra crap that's not needed, but what will be some key things I want to watch out for, and some key components I will want to keep when doing this.

Goals for the car :

1 Rally Cross a month, 1 trip to the IA tracks a summer, and ability to be daily driven if needed.

The biggest factor i'm concerned with on the electrical side is controlling overheating and engine management. I don't want anything more than a wideband o2 and s-afc, but I think I may be stuck having to at least go with a DSM Link setup. I want it tuned, and done.

AC will be gone, all lights except the reverse lights will be controlled by switch inside the car.

Other than that I can't think of too much that will make this a pita right now. Time consuming yes, overly hard, no.

Seeking plenty of thoughts and opinions on this subject.
