ditching dual tank selector valve & all unneeded wiring

Hey guys. Lookin for a little advice so I'm gonna try to explain best I can without the help of pics. I'm putting all the wiring back in my truck now, and tryin to get rid of things I don't need. Its an '87 tbi that had dual tanks. I put in a fuel cell a while back, but just ran one of the tank lines from the selector valve to the cell. Now I want to ditch that valve along with all wiring/ switches that have to do with it. I tried to figure out the wiring diagram from the chiltons manual, but wanted some extra input before I start removing wires I may need later. So from the firewall plug, there's 7 wires, 4 going to taillights, 3 for fuel system (2- tan/white, 1 pink). 1 of the tan/whites plugs into another small harness that goes to the tank selector switch on the dash, which I want to do away with. The other tan/white and pink wires go back to a plug. The other end of the plug, the wires go into the valve selctor harness with a couple other wires. I know the pink wire goes the sending unit, and I think the tan/white is fuel pump?
So now my question. Can I just run the pink directly to the sending unit on the fuel cell and the tan/white to the fuel pump (if that's what that wire goes to)? And then I could remove all the othere unneeded wires that connect anywhere within those?
Sorry if that just confused anybody lol. If any of that isn't correct or if anyone needs some more info to help lemme know and ill try and get it. Thanks guys
