Help modifying CR-814 radio from '91 740 ito fit '86 740 700

I inquired about whether I can install a CR-814 cassette/radio from a 91 740 into a 86 740. I do not believe that the CR-814 came standard in the 86 740. I'm not the original owner of the 86 740, and when I acquired it it had a SANYO CD/cassette player installed in it. My vehicle was broken into last week and the CD/cassette was stolen, so I went to a junkyard and got a CR-814 for $35, including the wire connection that connects to the back of the CR-814 (see photo). The 86 still has the amplifier under the steering column (I saw it) and it looks untouched, ever, actually (not surprising, considering where it is). So I've taken some photos and hopefully someone can advise me on what I need to do to adapt the radio to fit into my vehicle. I also got the CR-814 case housing, the storage area that fits directly under it (that has the cigarette lighter on the left side), and the ashtray. The hardware all looks like it'd fit, it's the wiring that I know I'm going to have problems with. Your help will be greatly appreciated. There is one benefit, though, to driving around without a working radio/tape in the car, you can hear little things like the slightest exhaust leak I heard, and a few rattles that I'm going to track down and resolve as well.

Your assistance with the radio issue will be greatly appreciated.
