I'm only doing doing the tuck on the left side of the engine bay. Right side is going to take too long and I'm trying to get the car ready by the weekend. The engine bay paint is nearly done. Windshield was removed today, and tomorrow the new one is going in. Then after that, I'm going to put the motor back in and hopefully the car will be good to go.

Like someone already had mentioned, way to take a bad misfortune and turn it into a positive. Good luck with this project.
I did a small wiretuck relocating all the wires that come down the sides of the engine bay and relocating a few other things to hide the wires better, not a full tuck but it cleaned up the engine bay nicely I wish I had filled in some holes when i painted my engine bay But forgot to ask the shop which holes were needed and not needed before the motor was pulled so it was too late.
Look forward to your rebuild..

Cut, extend, splice, tuck, done.
A 'true' wire tuck, involves removing EVERYTHING that isn't a necessity. Most honda/VW guys who do it remove A/C, PS, CC, anything that isn't needed. Pull out the whole harness, take out those sub harnesses that aren't needed because you removed said items, extend EVERY wire in the main harness now so it can be ran though a frame rail or through the fender area, leave no visible wires showing. There are guys who even turn the injector so the wires are on the bottom side lol.
