Welcome aboard thirdgen.org.

What year is your car? There are a few bulkhead connector pin-outs here http://www.team3rdgen.com/modules/3rdGenLS1/Wiring.htm that will get you started.

Plan on dropping the tank to remove the stock in-tank electric fuel pump.

The wiring harness that you need comes out of the firewall next to the power brake booster. The other harness went over the AC box and will not be needed.
