auto -> manual wiring question

Left over from the T5 swap, I have a 4 prong connection, which I know whas for the TC, but then there is another 2 wire connection that I left hanging. What is that for?

My car was origiinally a 87 v6 700R4 and uses a speedo cable. It does not have a VSS. What should I do with this 2 prong connection? Leave it hang?

What about your back up lights?

Also, I'm pretty sure the Firebirds got an electronic VSS around 86-87 so it's possible that GM just slapped the same exact harness in both the Bird and Camaro. What color are the wires?

Edit: I just remembered you have to make your own back up light connector so it shouldn't be hanging there.

I got the backup lights to work and the starter wires are all taken care of. The wires Im talking about are hanging from the engine wire harness and was wondering if I need to do anythign with them.

I'm getting code 24 for a VSS but my car doesnt have one so thats why Im wondering if I was supposed to do anythign with those wires or not.

Also, does anyone know if I need a computer(ECM) from a stick car? I tried putting a prom in from one but the car was older than mine and did not have multiport injection so it did not work right.

Is it on the drivers side? It might go to the oil sending unit above the oil pump.
