New mk3 trying to learn a bit

In your last photos:

1) Fuel resistor pack relay connector. This is normally run to a relay which switches the fuel pump power to a resistor pack to help lower fuel pressure at low loads. It's commonly deleted with aftermarket pumps although this requisite has been largely disproved.

2) and 4) A pre89 ECU hacked into an '89+ chassis?

3) The HAC sensor connector. The HAC sensor is used by the ECU to account for changes in altitude. If you live near sea-level and don't drive in different elevations you may bypass it with a couple resistors, otherwise pick one up (used or new). In '89+ ECUs it is internal. See the diagram linked to below for the HAC bypass resistor values (Just a box on the side):

That is one terrifying wiring job and the mods appear to be half-assed at best... I wouldn't have bought it for anything more than parts.
