87 L98 Wiring harness Issues

Hey guys so I am in the process of cleaning up my engine bay wiring to install my freshly built L98, having issues with wiring harness colors not matching the schematics, I bought this car with engine already removed and the wiring harnesses have been butchered quite a bit, figuring most of it out however there are no connectors for knock sensor and fan switch on the passenger side, however the only 2 wires I suspect that would be for them are a white wire and a black wire which in schematics for 88 and later TPI engines could be for the knock and fan, having a hard time with why my car would have harness colors different than the books and manuals are saying it does not appear that it has been changed however I guess I could be wrong? Iv been doing ac delete and removing any wiring and connectors that wont be used like cold start and egr etc. Thanks cheers

Re: 87 L98 Wiring harness Issues

Hey wow thanks for the extra info and detailed wiring diagrams, yes this is a true 1987 iroc z l98 car vin 8 engine b2l rpo code with dual cooling fans, I just looked at the esc connector and it is a white wire, here is a photo, I have no idea on the history of this car besides the engine was in the back seat when I got it, someone has had the engine out of it before by the looks of things/markings on the block during the rebuild, all the wiring has yellow loom on it I have been in the process of cleaning up the wiring and relooming and cleaning up the engine bay before engine install, I will have a look at the fan relays and see if I can find an appropriate wire for the fan switch however there is a black wire coming out of the harness right next to the said white wire and so far these seem to be the only mystery wires and I have yet to locate the fan and knock sensor wires leading me to believe they are the wires, here is a photo of the harness before I started digging into it.
