You need switch, relay, solenoid release and ground wire. The solenoid bolts in place of the manual hatch release. The black wire that connects to the solenoid is +12 v from the switch and relay (go figure the logic in using black for positive). You'll need to run a ground wire from the 10mm screw (that attaches the solnoid to the hatch pull-down unit) to the ground location on the body below the pull-down unit. Adding the ground is important because the solenoid is electrically isolated from ground by the nylon guides.

You need to hook up a ground from the relay to the parking brake too, but I'm sure you can figure that out from the wiring diagram in the 1986 Camaro Service Manual.
