I avg about 20lbs of wire from most cars and even at $1.35 per pound, that adds up at the end of the day. I only grab the easier stuff to get off.

That's what this stuff was. Harnesses, etc from a Dodge Ram. From the firewall, under the dash, steering column, under the carpet, frame rails, tail lights, head lights, etc.

He made good money overall being that he pretty much sold the truck down to the cab/frame.

Do you clip off any connecters, or scrap it as is? (connectors, looms, etc)

I do clip off the connectors, the looms, etc [ throw them in the trunk of the car]
The bigger stuff goes in our stripping pile
I don't pull out any light assemblies, just clip them off at the back.
