Eric,

Can't you just pull the fuses under the hood.  My 93 has two.  



I added a MoMo RACE wheel and simply soldered the wires together in the hub (90-93 

can get away with that). I may want to restore it later (I doubt it, but you never know) and 

can by not removing everything.  BTW, the smaller diameter wheel feels just right to me 

with power steering.
