The dirty one top/center, along with the U-shaped bracket in the center, are for the idler arm. The dirty one bottom/center attaches to it and the body as a shield for the starter, IIRC. One of the others may also be for the starter? Not sure about the other pieces...

Dave is right, and the bottom two are BOTH for the starter. Just did mine and the lower harness last month. Sorry, can't help with the other two.
 
Thanks, so which one of them should i attach before the engine is in, and which ones after the engine is in the car?
 
The starter ones will be easier with the engine outside the car, and the others don't make much of a difference.
