that's the best way to do it IMO, having a whole new harness as back up.

you can get a pretty decent little tuck going on using the wires as they are. I think the only thing that you have to extend is the ground wire that usually bolts up just in front of the fuel rail on the intake.
If you cut the plastic off, you can get some slack for the injectors so when you feed the wires up and between the intake runners.
You can pull those two big plugs that usually sit right in front all the way to the back of the manifold.
You can either short cut the maf and coil wiring across the front where the dist. wires go, or run them underneath the intake tube.
It does make things a little bit more of a pain as far as trying to plug and unplug things, but it can be done.
Before you go cutting and all of that, figure out where exactly you want to route things to. The stock harness can be manipulated quite a bit before having to actually lengthen anything.You might get lucky and be able to get the look you want without actually having to cut any of the wires.
