Default Fried engine harness (I think)

I think I know the answer to this but figured I’d check with the experts. I had to remove the alternator from my ‘70 today (to access fuel line) and during reassembly I pinched the wire loom between the alternator bracket and intake. When I went to put the negative battery cable back on, there were sparks everywhere and smile started drifting up along the loom down to the starter. Ugh. My question is:
Can I repair the engine harness by simply cutting off the part that got pinched or do I need to replace the entire harness?
Not sure if it shows up very clear in the photo but there is copper showing in the red wire.
