Wiring harness issue! plz help

I have a 87 camaro with a 2.8 mpfi motor in it. I completely rebuilt the motor over the summer and I am trying to put it back in now. I have everything hooked up but I cant seem to find a pigtail for the left terminal of the coil or for the left terminal of the distributor. There doesn't seem to be either of them on the harness. I did not make any modifications to the harness. Am i just not seeing them or do they not exist and those ports are just empty?
Thanks for the help in advance guys.

IIRC, they're both ends of the same harness

Like the others have said, that one goes from the dizzy to the coil. I think it is actually plugged into the dizzy from what I can see. In the second pic, it is the connector on the left (closest to the firewall)
