The harness you're looking for is more or less underneath the elbow close to the spark plugs. You don't need to remove the elbow to get to it just contort your arm a bit and try a few times. Don't tug on the wire though and only grip the harness when extracting. If you're not too sure, don't worry about it. Trust me, that harness won't fit the other "similar looking" one that's close to it. It will only fit in the right one so the install is pretty idiot proof.
As for mounting, there are some pretty good threaded holes with enough space for mounting in that area. What I ended up doing is moving the heatsink looking thing closer towards the firewall and mounted that tightly with one bolt instead of two. You'll find that the TwinPower has exactly enough space to bolt into the hole you just freed and sit at an angle against the front driver's side shock tower. You'll also need a good ground point so look for another threaded hole in the chassis nearby. Scratch off the paint near the hole and put your ground wire and bolt to that hole. The one I'm using sits about 5-6 inches directly below where I mounted my TwinPower.
Hope this is helpful.
