Guess what?

I need help with wiring. Recently purchased a 91' formula, 350 TPI/700r4. This car was a theft recovery, so some idiot cut and destroyed half the wiring harness.
Question: does anyone have a diagram of the firewall connector for the engine wiring harness? I need to know color and function of each wire entering the back of the fuse box coming from the engine harness.
Also, do the 91' models have the vss buffer built into the ecm? I purchased an Autometer speedo to install, and it says I need the vss buffer.

I finally traced every wire down with a multimeter, it only took all day. Only got 3 wires left to connect. PNK/BLK coming from charcoal canister which I believe goes to 12v ign., and 2 BLK/WHT wires that I think ground to the chassis. If you need any help let me know, I'm a certified wiring expert know. lol

I have one, but it does not show a diagram of the firewall connection.
