88 305 TBI to 1990 TPI

So my buddy had a 1988 Camaro, orig 305 tbi/700r4 car. not running when he purchased it. I was doing my LS1 swap on my 1990 iroc, and he ended up buying my 305 TPI/700r4 from me. I included my engine harness and ecm as well for him, he is just about done and came to the wiring problems.

I wasn't thinking about at the time but the harness doesn't just plug and play. he has the entire engine side of the harness, but whats on the interior part of the harness needs modded to run the correct wires to the correct locations.

can someone who has done this please advise?

will a simple repin work? what extra needs to be added ? wanting to help him get it going.

Search repinning c100,c201 the vss signal will work with a dakota digital sgi-5 installed or the memcal reprogramed for optical vss signal to c6. The vats will need to be bypassed with a hz modulator, installing the column, passkey module or with memcal reprograming.he will also need a higher psi fuel pump like a acdelco ep-241 or equilivant.
