I've done a couple of these swaps on different cars. What are you doing this swap in? I could help you out if you need it and I live in Columbus. If you PM me I will give you my number if you want. I'll try to help as much as I can.

What problems are you having? Older cars are pretty simple to wire in. The harness must become a full stand alone unit including an IGN relay to drive the fuseblock. Your only connections are for the electric gauges and the IGN switch(old coil 12v). Your cable speedo will require a driver box as the 4L60E cannot directly run a cable. Cable-x is the easiest to install with 3 wires to hookup: 12v IGN, grd and speedo output from the PCM
