Default i think i did something wrong

i have a 1986 corvette and could not put the hush panel in because of the way the last guy routed the wires in that area so i took the dash apart first i took off the cluster trim piece and then some screws for the dash pad then i took off the radio area trim piece. then i took off the dash pad,and then the breadbox. then i took off the module behind the breadbox to make sure it didnt get damaged accidently then i took out the ecm and pushed the other half of the wire harness that did not connect to the ecm behind the breadbox and put everything back together. when i turned my car on it is really loud and has the tune of a harley and viberated like crazy

what could potentially be the issue?
