Any last minute tips on wiring harness replacement? 700 1986

On the harness...be careful what you rip out and replace....I had the engine harness replaced on my 87 and not all of it comes with a 'harness'. They got all the deteriorated wires, but there were other OEM wires that weren't replaced. Best thing to do is look carefully at your new harness and disconnect/remove ONLY identical parts on your engine harness.

On the vacuum lines...when the car left the factory there was a vacuum hose diagram somewhere under the hood, probably on the passenger side engine firewall. If it's been scraped off or is illegible, you can probably look in a service manual (volvo for sure, maybe bentley) and get the general idea.
