Engine fire

So I had a mishap the other day… engine bay fire cause by fuel and it seems to have gotten to the engine harness somewhere where I’m not able to see so I have to remove the engine harness. After I remove the engine harness I’m not sure what my play is weather it’s a standalone wiring harness to stock ecu, Holley ecu and wiring harness, or just a new stock one. Does anyone have any advice on how I should go about removing the engine harness and/or what I should do next?

Questions.
Is the car staying stockish
Is it still subject to state emissions
How much was burnt
How good are you at wiring, or are you going to pay someone to do all this work?

Just pretty much built the whole top end with a cam so not so stock, and my state does not have emissions luckily. I do not really know how to wire more than connect a few wires together😂 with that being said I don’t like paying people to do work I’d prefer to figure it out so I’m not so sure what to do right now.

Don’t touch it if you’re not familiar with electrical. Call a corvette shop. Also, call your insurance company.

This guy cooked recently too. Fully covered.

His automatic blew up and burned it down.

If you search, the video will come up. It has been everywhere.
