87 Trans Am VSS problems

I have a 87 Trans Am GTA with a digital Dash. It had a engine fire. The porblem is that i need to know where the wires from the sensor go through the fire wall? How they get inside the passenger compartment. via with the rest of the computer wiring or the C100 connector on the driver side. ECT... Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

All of the computer controlled sensors come from the pass side via the door mount pillar. The gauge senor & majority of power wiring comes from the plug on the firewall just right (looking at from the front of the car) of the brak booster & the headlight wiring comes from a grommet just under the brake booster.

*edit- the a/c wiring comes (mostly) from a grommet just behind the pass side exhaust manifold

Yeah I already know that but my service manual does not show where it goes to get inside the pass. compartment. Is it included with the computer wiring or what? Otherwise i will drill a hole under the counsole and run it through there.

I believe the wiring harness runs along the back of the motor against the fire wall and goes into the passenger side by your blower motor. Email me if this isn't what you need.
