Default Manage Disconnected Wires 1997 E150 RWD 4.6 V8 ABS

Hello all. I have some wires I have wanted to cut at the split and cap off to get them out of the way as I refinish the van. I do not intend on using these wires again or connecting new ones. They were the old hookups for the speakers, interior lights, and tv / tv antenna. Is it alright to go ahead and cut this bundle out and be done with it?
Absolutely none of these have been connected to anything (save the tv antenna amplifier which was connected to a coaxial and grounded to the body) for months and there has been no trouble with the vehicle.

We never know what tomorrow may bring so it might be a good idea to wind them up neatly, with a note where they came from. Things change and you may need them and not remember what they were for, just a suggestion...
