engine removal dilema

I'm pulling the motor from a 2012 and have noticed the harness has no connector between the trans and engine?! IT IS ONE CRAZY HARNESS!
has anyone removed the engine and what did you do for the harness? take apart at the ECM or? Also the smog crap is mixed into the trans wiring just to make it impossible to remove. For a clean delete just cut it all out?
Talk about making it harder to remove! At least the 3rd gens had a couple connectors and done these are a joke any input appreciated!

Ok well figured that out just a WTF moment! You must remove ECM connector and pull entire harness out of the way! But the smog crap is integrated into the trans harness and loops back into the passenger rail up the firewall and across to the drivers side like a after thought!
