There certainly are a LOT of wires that plug into the amp, and based on the latest advice here, it sounds like if I install a new Android system, it still may not work if there's a problem with my amp. Used similar amps seem to go for about $100 on ebay, so I guess there's always that.
If nobody can tell me how to test these components, I DO have a buddy who is a PhD in electrical engineering. I guess I might have to hit him up for ideas on how to test components. Hopefully I can understand him 
I assume an android WILL eliminate the radio unit by the battery. Is that correct?

Yep the unit by the battery is the "radio" part of your system. FM/AM part of it.
The amp is what you have a picture of removed. The 2001 I bought had a bad amp when I bought it. I bought a used one from an junkyard online for $50 and that fixed it. There isn't a sure fire way to diagnose it I just rolled the dice. My logic was everything else worked but no sound so it probably was the amp
