Default Relocate ICV connector?

While I have the intake manifold off, is there any compelling reason not to put a pair of connectors (maybe something like Anderson Powerpoles) in the wire that runs under the intake manifold to the Idle Control Valve? It seems to me that it would make manifold installation and removal much much easier if the wire could be split somewhere more accessible.

Don't tell me I'm the only person here to have ever had this idea!

The wiring is not much of an issue, as Sterling said, at least with small hands or a pair of long surgical forceps. I'd like the valve itself to be somewhere more accessible. Fortunately, with my supercharger setup, it is moved to the passenger side of the engine bay, right out in the open.

This is an interesting idea......mine can be moody at times...but a heavy does of WD40 tends to make it better for a while...try it
