Depending on your preference of appearance, you may also wish to delete the condensers on the 5V and 12V regulators, coil, and generator, as well as the braided strap from the valve cover to the firewall, as these were all "radio" accessories.

Those don't scratch the paint.

On the cloth wiring:
The headlight sockets, coil ground wire inside the distributor, radio, rear reading light(s), and trunk light were purchased parts where the vendors didn't change. Aside from the radio, it doesn't even have to be a different part based on voltage alone.

The oddball Packard cloth wiring is the jumper between the two rear door switches, and the 5V gauge power bus wiring.

I knew that the trunk light wire was cloth (thank you for reminding me that I need to grab one to take back with me) but, other then the wire inside the distributor which wasn't a Packard assembly, I didn't know about the others. Very odd.
