Default Paper Clip Method: Code Retrieval?

It has been mentioned that a "paper clip" can be used to retrieve codes on
the '94 LT1 engine, connecting the "4 pin" and the "12 pin". Question: where
are these "pins" to be found? Is there any chance of "low voltage" shock? This is all new to me. Thankyou.

The ALDL connector is under the dash, just above the driver's right knee. Not much risk for shock; just wait until the pins are jumped before turning the key to "on". Some how-to's:

I've been told that some of the '96 specific information isn't 100% correct, but the stuff for your '94 should be pretty good.
