Cool power steering wiring, help Plz

Could someone help me with the power steering wiring, I have all the parts "PS rack, computer, lines, pump mounted ect.", however I don't have a diagram of the wiring for the PS. I have a 86 fcs3 sport it has the plug under the dash on the drivers side for the power steering control unit, also there is a place in the fuse box for a power steering fuse. But I don't know where the power steering pump is wired into the car at I don't see any plugs if i have to make a custom harness and relocate the PS computer that's fine.

I am going to convert a manual rack car over to PS myself. If I figure it out I will let you know.

I ended up blocking off the 3rd port on the rack and picked up a non electrical power steering pump and just used two of lines, it's a bit more sensitive at high speeds but keep the stock steering wheel or get a larger one, because of the different ratio of the power steering rack vs. the manual rack.

I actually wasn't stuck on it much. The harness for the pump is right next to the battery. White connectors
