For your thermostat housing you will need 2g sensors to match the 2g harness.
Other than that it's basic.

The harness provides a general location to where each plug will be located.

The hardest hastle is organizing the mess below the throttle body. Just figure out which plug goes to your ISC/EGR. Then locate your knock sensor plug.

The most difficult portion is the rewire for your CAM angle sensor.
RRE makes a harness so you do not have to cut apart your factory harness.

For furtures sake, if you ever remove your engine again. Go through with white out/light color PAINT sharpie and mark (numbers, letters, etc) which one goes where.
Some of your plugs may not even be needed (AC, Emissions, PS, ABS etc) so you can always tie those back making it much easier and faster to find the plugs for each designated spot.

I'll see if I can dig up any diagrams.
 
thank u and i appreciate it... yea i already bout the modified cas harness for like 50 bucks... im just not sure where the white wire hanging off of it goes...
