There a tech article linked from the thirdgen.org homepage. Look at it first.

Throttle cables, radiator & heater hoses, some means to deliver carb-type fuel pressure instead of EFI fuel pressure.

You can use the existing harnesses. Just keep what you need - alternator, oil pressure, coolant temp, distributor power, tach lead, etc.
