Need a Quick Answer, Is Any of this Wiring Stock?

I have a bunch of wiring coming out of the firewall behind the washer fluid bottle and 1 Vacuum line, 4 were were routed behind the padding along the firewall and all of the plugs were not used, except for one that is plugged into a sensor on the oil filter housing. One of them is fairly large with 6 pins and with a big grey lock on it

Under the washer bottle I have 1 unused Vac Line and 2 unused plugs with some sort of metal braiding on them.

Just looking to know whats supposed to be there and what I can rip out.

There was some before, I know that for sure. I also know Mazda likes to leave unused plugs all over the place too. My biggest concern is the one still connected to the oil filter housing.

Dude don't rip out... improve what they started. Sounds like maybe they took out an aftermarket oil catch can?? Is the oil psi gauge in the vehicle? Who sold it to you lol?
