I think theres already a post on this but here we go.
Parking Brake - The wire is under the center console. You cant miss it. Remove the console and T-Tap the wire that leads to the parking brake arm.
Ground - Its in the upper harness of the ECU. Its a all black wire thats a thicker gauge wire than the rest of the wires. (I think I remember reading that its pin 10 but not positive)
O2 - If I remember right mine was a white wire w/ a black stipe on the upper ECU harness. Ive read in other posts that some people have diff colored wires. Dont know how true it is but its a warning.
If I'm wrong someone correct me (I put it in a while ago, but Im pretty sure its all correct)

Don't run the ground to the ecu, just ground it to the chasis somewhere. Yes the parking break wire is the only one there so you can't miss it. As for the O2 wire I believe it is the white wire black stripe. I could check later and confirm.

Well the ECU is under the hood. That arrow is pointing directly at the ECU harness. Which is where you will need to tap into. Your going to have to do it at that harness because the wires are not exposed after that harness. As for the ground just run it directly to a chasis bolt or a good ground in the area. (mine is under the console, right around the parking break area, or on one of those bracketts) You have the ignition harness right? So thats easy to do. Then if I remember correctly the only other wires are the O2 wire, the brake switch, and the ground, correct? All you have to do is scotch lock the brake wire on to the existing one, run the O2 wire to the ecu, and ground the ground wire.

thanks guys-you all rock.
so i guess route the O2 wire from the tt, and cut a slit in the shift boot for the 02 wire to pass through.

I wouldnt run the wire thru the boot. I ran mine thru the grommet under the rug on the firewall on the passenger side. I still havent found a good place to run wires on the drivers side.
