Default Electrical Connector Identification

Note, my car is a 79 L-82 with manual transmission
All, I need some assistance, as I attempt to rebuild / fix previous owners "enhancements" I've managed to identify most of my not used connectors in the center console but I have a few I thought I'd try to crowdsource an answer. Can you help me identify these 4 connectors
In the first pic right center, there's a 6 wire plug with black, pink, brown, green, white and pink with black tracer wires.
In that same pic just above on the right there is a 3 wire plug, purple, white and brown
2nd pic in the background is a single orange wire blue connector
2nd pic in the background is a single pink wire with black tracer and red connector
Finally, for a bonus question, the previous owner installed an aftermarket radio and rather than use the handy aftermarket radio installation wiring harness for $7.99 he hacked and chopped....
2nd pic, in the background there is an orange wire and black wire (tied in a knot) and a grey wire just laying there, any thoughts what these were for originally, was there any kind of a connector with orange, black and grey wire?
appreciate everyone's help on this.

I believe I have figured two of them out, Best I can tell,
The orange single wire with the blue connector used for the Power antenna harness that appears missing?
The single pink with black tracer wire (red connector) is used for the rear window defogger which that harness also appears to be missing.

I have also figured out the orange and black wires were for the cigar lighter but previous owner cut them and used them for radio installation.

So only connectors left I could still use help with are the first 2 connectors mentioned.

I've figured out the last 2 connectors, they are for the intermittent wiper module, it's apparently missing..... I guess it gets mounted in the center console.
That takes care of all the connectors I was needing help with regarding this thread.
