Default Electronic Transmission swap problems

Friend of mine took the stock motor 302 out of a 1992 F150 Stepside and is replacing it with a new FRP Crate 347 Stroker.
The auto Trans in the stepside was taken to our tranny guy for a rebuild and shift kit.
I am supposed to be doing to rewiring for the job, we are installing a Holley 650 instead of the stock EFI. No big worries.


BUT - unbeknownst to me the tranny was the version with the electronic shift system and speed sensor. By the time I found that out, the builder had already rebuilt the tranny and it was too late to swap it out for a mechanical (Vacuum) tranny.


I'll have to buy and install a TPS for it and a MAP sensor, but the main issue is the harness.
I removed the Motor harness from the big multiplug but now I'm kinda getting in a bind worrying about extracting the wires out of the big multiplug that the motor and tranny requires and was wondering if somebody manufactured a custom harness designed to service just the basics of a carbureted motor, (temp etc), and also the transmission ?????


Thanks for any recommendations guys

Oh, I learnt that I don't need a MAP sensor, just a TPS. Any advice beyond that?
