Going to be removing the baseboard heater in the bedroom. It is
just taking up space. (Is small house- 3 inches would make a
difference on the water closet's door side.)
"easy part" is removing them. What I want to do is route the
power into a wall socket so I can have bedside lamps in there.
Surface
mount and just trim the wires to fit?

Many of those baseboard heaters are 220 volt. Just check before
changing things ....
An easy way to map 120V outlets to their breakers is to plug in a
vacuum cleaner that makes the floor vibrate, so you can hear it
running from the breaker box.
In the other direction I extended the leads of a clamp-on AC current
probe on the breaker wire with an extension cord to the DVM upstairs,
to record the heater duty cycle and room temperature on a computer.
Banana plugs fit in 3/16" OD telescoping brass tubing.
