Water temperature sensor wire...where is it??

My car is in storage now for the winter, but I was poking around today trying to fix my choke. It doesn't stay out on it's own. I've searched the issue and found that it was probably a faulty water temperature sensor (the one on the back side of the water pump).

Well I located the sensor and found that the wire that is supposed to be going to it is missing. There are some loose, unconnected wires that look like they were associated with removed a/c components and possibly some emissions stuff (previous owners).

I've looked at the fsm's and couldn't see where the wire comes from or it's routing through the engine compartment. Can someone snap a couple of pictures of the wire going to the sensor on the back of the water pump for me, and maybe trace it back to where it goes into the engine harness? If not, maybe just let me know the color combination of the wire so I can see if I still have it somewhere in there and can maybe splice it back to length....

I greatly appreciate any feedback or help!

It branches off the branch that connects to the alternator plug and carb connections.

Wire colors are available on sgtfox's website.
