Where are my fusible links on an 86 Firebird?

Posted this in electronics and got nothing. You v6 guys seem to be quite helpful. Where are all my fusible links at on my car? I seem to not have fire to my dash lights, power windows, or fuel pump.

The fusible links are all attached to the starter.

Wrong... There are 3 on the starter and about 4 more on the junction block by the passenger's side headlight assembly. Follow the wire that is more than likely run to it off of the alternator if the alternator wiring hasn't been modified.

Next to the mass airflow sensor is the MAF relay... About 2 inches under that is the junction block. On Birds, anyways. It's in the same spot for Camaros, but the MAF may not be in that corner if equipped with the optional air intake.

If you're looking at the radiator from the front, it's next to the end of the radiator support on the left side, down by the tray at the bottom (battery tray if the battery is on that side, air filter tray if the battery is on the other side). Sorry, no pic, as mine isn't currently installed (along with pretty much everything else except a couple of brackets here and there). Follow the wiring harness as it runs down the passenger's side frame rail... There will be 3 or so orange wires coming out of it to attach to fusible links on the block.
