Default Looking for a write up. LS swap wiring

I'm looking for an electrical write up on LS swap into an OBS.

What wires are needed to run the gauge properly etc.
figured we are going to do a stand alone harness to run the engine and the trans.

I would have to dig into it more but I believe on the 96-up they can repin the harness to work with a 411 PCM and it will control the Gauges as well.

What if I get you the Wiring Diagrams for the 95???

Here you go step by step on making a harness standalone (don't worry you don't need a face book to access it):

I used the info from his website(Wiring Harness Information) to make my 01 harness a standalone to run in my 95. Here are all the diagrams I have for a 95 as well:

Good luck, if you have any questions I can try to answer to the best of my knowledge. I haven't finished the swap yet, but the 5.3 runs and the new efans work as well.
