Extra wires running from the fuse box - what's their purpose?

Good evening :)

 

Whilst stripping my engine bay ready for the engine swap, I found two wires running from the fuse box in the engine bay, around the back of the engine and into the cabin (on the driver’s side). There are then two sets of wires running out of the cabin that connect to the black/orange wire for the coil pack.

Is anyone able to provide any assistance as to why my car has been given these extra two wires and what they're for? I’ll get behind the dash as soon as I can to try and see where those wires go once they pass through the bulkhead. I’m going to cut them off at the point that they join the black/orange wire as I’m going to have to take the loom out with the engine, but my concern is will I need to wire them back up again once I have done the conversion?

 

Any help or guidance on this would be greatly appreciated :)!
