1987 TPI setup going into a 1986 CARB T/A

OK.... I've searched the forum from one side to the other and after encountering a dozen or so bad links, have decided to post this question which I PRAY someone on here can answer. I have a 1986 T/A that was my first car.... at least the one I had to buy myself, frome my childhood. I love this car and have had it off the road for quite a while now trying to finish up this project.
The car came with a 305 Carb engine, which I had replaced with a 350. It ran OK but I decided to go TPI to help with fuel economy and overall driveability. I have installed the TPI and the harness, which was all chopped to pieces. I am sure that the connections for the engine harness are all good with the exception of this problem.
In doing my research at the onset of the project I was unaware of the under dash harness being pinned differently between 1987 and 1986. Is it possible to rewire the under dash connections to match the 1987 setup? If so, does anyone have a pinout of the under dash connections for 86 & 87? I know I will have to supply power for the injectors and fuel pump, which is a separate plug. However, the under dash connection is driving me crazy. Also, if a pinout change will not work, what would be a recomended approach?

Any help would be rewarded with the gratitude of one who is trying to bring his car back to life.....

I figured that all the TPI experts would be in here though.

Any help would be appreciated.
