2,4 and 13 are heater box
14 is vacuum pipes for headlights
16 and 17 are starter relay
11 and 12 is accelerator arm.
20 is speedo cable
6 is ballast resistor
8 and 9 is for voltage regulators
5,7,10 and 15 are firewall insulation nails
21 is rubber grommet but is needed if you have a manual car for the clutch.
19 is the steering column base plate bolt from inside the car.
3 is for the coil bracket on a small block car.

For 5,7,10 and 15 you could weld the holes up and then weld nuts on the inside of the fire wall to bolt the insulation in place.
16 and 17 will be hard to relocate as the fuse able link that comes out of the bulkhead connector is only very short.
6 can be welded up and hide the basllast resistor under the dash inside the car.
8 and 9 can be welded up and hide voltage regulator in the car.
Orange box can be in the car under the dash.
3 can be welded up as you have big block and the coil is mounted to the engine.
14 you can weld up st you say you will use electric actuators for the headlight doors.
If you weld up the bulk head connector hole you can run the wiring through the fire wall and into the underside of the wing and then 16 and 17 can as be welded up and starter relay and be under wing.

you have a lot to decide on and do before it goes to paint.

Leave em all and stitch fresh sheet metal over the top to leave the surface free of any stamping shapes and just bolt the lot to the existing holes on the inside of the firewall.................... It'll look well smooth and custom
