hooking up power antenna switch, and other useless bits 700 1986

An acquaintance was dumping his '91 745t (245k mi.), and let me pick it for parts first. My 744 is an '86, and surprisingly little was usable for me-- so much little stuff was different-- even the blue dash bulbs have changed to white in the 91 (the switch labels have blue backing instead, a much better idea)! I was able to pull the visors and some sunroof parts, but that was about it.

So, I took what else I could, including the power antenna switch-- useless, I said to myself, but why not, it'll just end up in a dump. My power antenna works fine (after I fixed it a couple years ago). How hard would it be to wire up this switch? Anyone done this?

Also, though I already posted a reply to an old post by FitzFitzgerald, I was wondering if anyone knew if the Bosch IAC model number ending in 516 (used in the '91's 2.4 system) is compatible as a replacement for my IAC model number ending in 501 (used in my 2.2 system). His IAC was virtually new, so I took that too-- my idle's been acting up, clean tb or not.
