What wiring exits with non-power radio antenna? (sedan) 200 1989

A few posts back about power trunk releases, someone said that if your car doesn't have a power antenna, the unused cable there is just begging to be used to power the trunk release. Well, I don't have a power trunk release or a power antenna, and I'd prefer having the power antenna first. Are all of the necessary wires there in a 1989 sedan GL? Do the control wires run to somewhere near the dashboard? Where do I put the switch?

Also, how easy is it to get a power antenna setup from a junked Volvo (presuming that part is intact)? I'm going to visit a junkyard the next time I'm home and, though I have no idea if they have any accessible 240s whatsoever, I'll definitely be trying to grab parts off of the ones that I see. What do I need to get for the power antenna stuff, if the car has one?
