This is a 1990 automatic originally? If so, what year 5 speed did you install?

1990 also, i got the little connectors that go to it as well. i know i’m going to splice the purple/ orange and pink/ black wires to the red switch i think that’s reverse lights but i don’t know about the other ones

Super Easy. Violet-orange and black-pink is the reverse lights. Then red-blue and pink are the neutral safety. Just cut up that 5 pin harness from the auto and buy new pigtails from rock auto for the manual.

I ran the auto ecm with the manual trans and it seemed okay. It stalled a couple times but that may have been indicative of engine health.
