HELP with tpi swap

I'm putting a tpi motor into my non-tpi 88 iroc-z. I bought a painless performance wiring kit for the 85-89 maf engines and I'm having trouble installing the harness. Has anyone had any expirence with these harnesses in realtion to what I have to splice into what to get power to the computer and my accessories. I still have the tbi harness which I took out of the car originally. Any help whatsoever will be greatly appreciated.

How much did you pay for the painless harness?? I had my original TBI harness converted to TPI for a service fee. Looks killer and just like stock. If interested go to www.TPIparts.net
