T5 Questions

I have a 1987 Firebird. I just completed a motor swap and I'm trying to button up all the smaller stuff. On my T5 there are provisions for 2 sensors. Both on the drivers side. I believe I found and plugged in the one closest to the engine. The one in the rear I can't seem to find anything that comes close to reaching it. I did away with the computer completely. Does anyone know where I should be looking and what both of these connections are for? I have no speedometer or reverse lights and they worked prior to the swap. Thanks in advance for your help

Re: T5 Questions

The thing in the case is the backup light switch. Wires should be blue & green The thing in the extension housing near the drive shaft is the vehicle speed sensor (speedometer). Wires are yellow & purple.
