I have a 2005 chevy impala that used to be a cop car when I ripped out the interior there was a lot of hidden wires and under the hood there is just a bunch of extra electrical I'm trying to bring it down to bare minimal. Can I just start ripping g out wires or do I have to leave it all for the car to run properly?

If you're going to convert it to mid-engine as in https://www.gmforum.com/general-gm-c...y-idea-313150/ , you're going to be hand-wiring most of it anyways.

I'm not trying to insult you or discourage you from learning automotive but this is not the way to go about it. If you had an experienced technician to guide you and help you would stand a chance of learning and getting something done. Even then you will need to know how to fabricate. That requires special tools and experience.
You may want to try and get some text books from a Vo-Tech school on automotive technology and start there.
