I'm wondering if you can do a stand alone wiring harness with ECM link v3?

You can't really strip the harness down to perhaps the same level as with some other standalone ECUs but there are people running ECMLink on a minimal type harness.
As long as you still have a working MPI relay (using the factory or some other relay) for powering and shutting off the ECU the rest can be stripped pretty much down to the bare bones.
Study how the factory harness works before you start ripping it apart and you'll have a better change of things working at the end.

To elaborate on this, do a search for wire tucks to see what people are doing to clean up their harnesses. Many of them are running ECMLink and just got rid of the things they don't use. There's plenty of threads here outlining the proper way to do it.
ahh i dont think there is acompany that makes a ligyt weight harness as of yet but if you get some diagrams you might be able to make one yourself!
Im not looking to wire tuck my car. I'm looking for a bare bones harness to keep down on wiring problems and weight the car is track only car.
