Funky Conversion Questions

[kenkelly at lucent.com]

Steve,
	The engine harness also has two connectors that go to the forward light
harness. This harness has an "electrical center" that has the relays for A/C
clutch, Fans, and Air Pump. You will need to add this to the engine harness, and
provide Battery, ignition, starter, and VAT (50Hz square wave) to the dash
harness connection.
