So I am attempting to sort the Stereo wiring in my 85' GT while the dash is out and on my bar undergoing surgery (hence the lovely Jim Beam sign in the background). I just wanted to get clarification on the factory Amp that with a modern head unit would be completely useless so I'm trying to just bypass it completely. Below is the diagram I came up with. I also can't seem to find where the front right and left speakers wires run but I'd imagine they were in some way routed through the factory amp. The Previous owner had replaced the factory front speakers and just ran new wire to them; however, the factory plugs are still in tact. Also is it safe to just cut the amp out completely as labeled in my diagram?
These wires were all cut and I need to identify exactly what they were for so I can label them but I'd imagine they were cut as part of bypassing the factory amp and just don't get used/need to be properly capped:
It looks like most the wires coming off the factory amp are identified on this site and just cutting it out completely would be safe?:

I have the wiring diagrams if necessary but I have not read through one of these in years and I'm not very good at it. Figured someone on here would probably be very familiar with the stereo wiring on these things.
