I've surfed the internet and most of the places that come up and none have an assembly manual. They all have an owners repair manuals. I will try a WTB ad. Thanks for the input!

i'm thinking actual factory assembly manuals for the corvette ended with the 1982 model year. if there is anything for the C4, they've never been released. seems the best we can do is the factory service manuals (FSM) and the y-body 1984 to 1993 parts and illustrations catalogs. the 1984 to 1993 parts and illustration was the last hardcopy published. I could be wrong, but my guess is actual C4 assembly manuals don't exist -

Best you can do is get a parts CD and a FSM to help you see how things went together.

As the C4 production years went by, the Assembly Plant made more and more use of robots to put major sections of the car together. So there was no real need for an Assembly Manual like the ones that were printed for the early generation Corvettes like the C1, C2, and C3.
