I don't have this pusher fan.  It wasn't there in my donor car, but then my car is 
a Canadian spec.  AFAIK, this pusher fan was only there for the automatic 
transmission models -- at least here.

If you want to have it, then I'd just run new wiring.  I don't think that it's 
worth trying to get all of the extra stuff in place to do.

My donor car was an '87T, and my '89NA was from early in the model year, so it had 
more in common with the '87 and '88 than with the '90.  I had no trouble fitting 
MOST of the connectors from the '87T harness into my '89 chassis harness.  A 
couple of the ABS connecters were different, but that was all.  Also there seemed 
to be a difference from the headlight sensor for the idle up, but I deemed that 
relatively unimportant, and disconnected it, since it was more trouble than it was 
worth.

My turbo conversion was about 11 years in the offing, so I had done a LOT of 
research before starting.  ;)
