Thanks guys! Once I'm finally done with all the wiring I'll repost all of my wiring documents I've made, some have changed a bit since I first posted them, so hopefully they will help others along the way.
Craig, the trans was blasted assembled, I didn't take anything apart. VERY careful taping was required to block off the holes. My blast cabinet is plenty large to fit the trans in so that wasn't an issue. I gotta say, I really would not recommend other people do it this way. I did end up getting a few (and I mean very few) beads in the trans through the VSS hole (should've left the vss in). I flushed the trans out with fluid upside down several times so the fluid came out that hole so I'm hoping I got all the beads out, plus I plan on flushing it again after putting a few miles on it. Overall, it was just a huge pain, and took five straight hours to blast. Plus, now all the bolts are rusting (they're steel of course) so I have to paint them all with Aluma-Blast once I pull the trans out.
Quick update: got a majority of the fuse box wiring done, have to order more connectors though so I'm at a standstill until I get them. This past week I didn't get much time to work so I'm a bit off schedule, engine should be coming out tomorrow. My paint gun came today so I have to order everything else to paint the engine bay, plus research and buy everything for the battery relocation. Still have to get knuckles/abs sensors and new front axles.
