Wiring Help

I bought a 1988 F150 that the motor and all the wiring had been taken out does anyone have picture or a diagram that could help me tell where to run the wire atleast. It looks like a jungle right now.

What is it that looks like a jungle if all the wires are gone?

Are you just wanting a diagram of the Ignition wiring or all the sensors on the engine also?

Thanks for the diagrams but I slowly got everything to fall into place but a few connectors but ill figure out where they go. There is a group of 4 wires that come out the harness at the air condition pump they are 2 black with yellow tracer and 2 solid black any ideas what these might be or where they go they have been cut off right as they come out of the harness?

The black/Yellow and the Black wires are for the A/C clutch.

Ok so should there be a plug or something on the ac unit for the black and yellow and then the solid black ones should just be grounded some where. Is that right? Thanks for your help

Yes there is a plug to plug two of these wires into the A/C Compressor.
If the plug on the wiring side is missing and the other end of the black wires is still grounded then one black wire and one black and yellow wire go to the plug on the Compressor and the other two wires go to a Diode.
