This is how/where I mount the brain on those cars:
Do your bench prep, leaving the thick ignition wires maybe 12"-15" long.
With the brain just sitting on the car floor, make your ignition connections at the keyswitch.
Afterward, hold the brain up high above where the driver's left foot would be, and zip-tie it to the existing factory wire harnesses there. Position those ignition wires where they won't fall, and can't get caught up in the steering linkage......then continue with your other connections.
As far as the locks and stuff......only a few of those cars came with keyless, so it probably never had factory remotes.
If the key will turn in the driver's door, use those wires..........also, that allows you to test the wires at the fusebox without a helper, as you should be able to reach through the car window to turn the key, while holding your tester in place with your right hand.
If you find yourself unable to test the wires, do this. First, do your complete remote-start install, everything except the locks.......ground, antenna, programming, etcetera.
After that's all done, make temporary connections from the remote starter, to the lock wires in the car, and try them out.
The idea is that the lock/unlock outputs from the remote starter are weak, and they can't damage too many things in the car.................as opposed to just playing with jumper wires to ground, which can wreak more havoc...............if you're going to make a mistake and burn something out, you're far better off damaging the remote starter than damaging the car.

Thanks a lot everyone! Install was one of the easiest I have done..
Chris, thanks a lot for the tip on the tach! I HATE running the tach through the firewall into the engine. You saved me a good amount of time!!!
