Help, Lt1 Swap

I'll get straight to the point. I have a 91 Z-28 , it had a 305 TPI with speed density and a 700r4 auto trans. I just recently picked up a Painless Wiring for a LT1 94-95 and a 94 LT1 with 4l60E Trans. The point is the orignal harness has yet to be touched, I want to know which wires to pull from the original setup and which ones to leave,they all seem to be twisted, I ask and would probally refer to the manual but, I havn't found a good source for my year camaro. I know the orignal ECU can go, but do I pull the orginal fuse box out under the dash on the driver side , do i just route around it,, also does any know where the wires right next to the master cylinder leads to and what those wires do,, Help this is the pain in the *** part... Any one that has performed this tranfomation please post a message on this message board.

Call this guy....

Chae Lavin 1-956-287-8582. He does the swaps for a living and was a MAJOR help w/ my RS swap. Now, that is his personal number not the business number so don't go calling him at 3am and saying that Brett referred you to him! LOL

He's out in Texas. Very helpful guy and can answer your questions.

I'd sit down and talk you through some of it right now but I've got to be 20 miles from here in 15 minutes so I've got to run.
