The Antenna is usually blue (someone correct me if im wrong) The radio install in my 81 was diagram-less. Generally every radio has three power wires. Big yellow (On/off power) small yellow (constant power for presets/clock) and a ground (almost always black) Then an antenna/amp signal wire (usually blue). The radio wire will run back from the radio down under the center consol. Then all your speakers. I use an amp so those connections are not wired on mine. Hope this helps,

This might help. Tow versions, with rear speakers and without
Gray wire is left front speaker
1 Yellow wire is the radio fuse hot only with key on. The other yellow is right rear speaker
