Swapping a 1983 Nikki onto a 1980 SA

I am doing an engine swap (an 83 motor to my 80) and the 83 motor has a Nikki with the full rats nest.

I would like to keep the rats nest on, but I’ve been looking over solenoid/vacuum diagrams and can’t figure out if it’s possible to use the 80 wiring harness to power the solenoids correctly.

What should I do?

You'll need to use the rats nest and wiring from the1980 along with the carb spacer.
