If you buy a new harness it will be marked what goes where. If you buy a used aftermarket harness, the maker might help you.

If you have the donor cars harness, you need the shop manual for that car and for your car. You can get them from Helm Inc., Ebay, Swap meet, etc. Corvette manuals are available through the usual Vette catalogs. Also exploded-view vette wiring diagrams are available through the catalogs. There are not too many wires to deal with actually. Regardless, you will probably have to have your PCM worked on by Howell, Street&Performance, or one of the others to remove EGR, VATS, or any other systems you won't be using.
