Fuel pump wiring

Long story short, i swapped a blown 7.3 idi with a efi 4.9. I put in a pump and im running the wires. I found a spot where the fuel pump relay is supposed to go but there is no wires going to it. When I did the swap I grabbed all the engine wires from the donor truck and swapped it. I guess my question is, where should I plug my positive and negative cables coming off of the fuel pump? I was gonna run it into the relay but I can't find the harness that plugs into it. Should I try to find or make the harness or would it be simpler to just run a switch to the dash?

First pic is missing harness second is all the other wires if it helps

There are a few relays that im not sure what it goes to. One has a green harness with a yellow, green yellow, red, green red wires. The other has a grey harness with yellow, brown white, black, and brown wires. Are either of these the fuel pump relay wires?

It would be helpful to state what year truck you are working on and what year 4.9 you are swapping in.

IIRC, the relay with the green base is the fuel pump relay, but you have no wires going to it?

I apologize it is a 90 f350 7.3 idi with a 90 f150 4.9. All engine wires were swapped over. I have a green relay labeled fuel pump in the black case where the other relays are but nothing was plugged into it. There is another relay in that area with a green harness and a black relay on it. I think the green harness might be the fuel pump wiring but I can't find wiring schematics to match the wire colors to be sure.
