First picture couple a funny look connector i think it is going to firewall little holes thru but ?some wires behind them ?
Second and third picture dark green wire what pencil shows is heater blowermotor but what is the near dark blue (someone fixed and change the color lightblue)i think that is some aircondition wire ?where it goes .
 
The first picture of the two plugs are for the dual ballast resister for a 5 pin ECU... the pins are so that the plugs go onto the ballast correctly as the two resistances are different

cant see the second one clearly

Green maybe one field wire from the alternator to voltage regulator? I'm not sure though

Here is a pic of a dual ballast and a single

note the holes

also note you can use a 4 pin ECU with the 5 pin ballast and wiring without any modifications.

Ok thanks ,i dont remember that ballast think ,i found old picture the plugs are stick
To the firewall whitout ballast res. When i found older picture later maybe wires show better.
 
Those are not the alternator field wires, the green is the blower motor, and the blue runs up along the intake manifold and valve cover to the ac compressor on the passenger side. The alternator field wires should be harnessed along with the primary alternator wire and the temperature sensor wire, and distributor connection(big block), I think in your picture I see them laying up against a coil on the table there.

like I said I don't know as I cant see the 'green' ones in your second and third pictures but the plugs in your first picture are definitely your dual ballast plugs
 
Looks like your ? Has been answered the green does look like the ac wire. Also not sure if I understand you but are you saying there's wires coming out of the fire wall? People like to install the elc parts inside the car and sometimes run the wireing back threw the fire wall so you saying you don't remember the ballistic resistor ,might be because you haven't seen it if you have wires coming out like I think you said check under your dash for the ballistic
 
agreed on AC wires... Thats an specific harness which uses the cavities left between NSS harness and Engine harnes to feed Compressor and Blower ( coded as mentioned ) in 72/ and 73. 71s got both signals on NSS harnes plug since this year didn't require the NSS signal to seatbelts system, and 74s since got more needs on cavities to the interlock system got this harness plugged to another harness running through the firewall.

The other end of that harness must get dual spade conector ( both blue ) to the presostatic valve on dryer to switch on the compressor just if system got gas yet. The dual blue wire runs all along the right side inner fender, parallel to the metalic gas line.

I dont find that better picture but i think that blue goes to the ac like idrivemopar say.what is that white part right side wire where two wires go.thank you
 
In your latest picture above, the two wires, if you are talking about the one with a red plug and other with black plug, that is the choke control.
 
I ordered a new engine harness from Evans ... WELL WORTH the money rather than trying to work with the old brittle spliced up wires.
Take a look at my site where I have resto pics of my 73. Maybe some will help refresh your memory on location etc.
