I'm not 100% on the 1987, but on the 89 I had and the 93 I do have, it's inside the cab, under the dash, driver's side, behind the emergency brake. The harness connector is under the hood at the firewall. You have to remove the harness, then remove the mounting screws for it and it pulls out through the firewall. When I swapped mine, it was a pain in the a$$. I had to fight the wire bundle, and pull down the plastic wheel well cover.

All I did was take the wiring harness loose and then took the kick panel loose. Alot easier than going through the fenderwell.

On an 87 I do not think it will come out through the fenderwell.
I think the 1992 and newer have to come out through the fenderwell.
