Re: starting a swap
You will only need the switched ignition power to the coil and tachometer if applicable tci makes a lockup kit for the 700r4.

Re: starting a swap
Not sure how much your ripping out. But you need the purple wire from the ignition switch to the starter s solenoid . The bat to starter charging system wires and tbi uses the fan relay and coolant temp sensor on the passenger head to control the cooling fan.

Re: starting a swap
I don't have a schematic for your car but I think there are 2 wires on your alt brown that goes to the charging light and red that goes to the fan relay both stay .
