Default 88 diesel disaster

i got an 88 diesel jimmy as part of a trade its a 6.2 auto it has 3 egr solenoids well the original owner fried the glow plug solenoid in 2001 and parked the truck in the ten years it sat several parts got removed to fix other trucks he had and my sisters husband bought the jimmy in may cuz he wanted the motor he "worked" on it for a couple months then gave it all to me in the trade well he hacked the entire wiring harness up when i removed what was left of it there was literally only 4 wires left in one piece. well i plan to restore this truck my father in law had an 85 like it and i loved that truck well i am posting cuz i need help! first off does anyone have a wiring diagram so i can rewire it or a harness i can buy? i plan to eliminate the 3 egr solenoids how will that effect how i rewire it? and when jim was "working" on it he removed the throttle position sensor how do i reset it? and the stock intake manifold has a crack from jim and his hammer so i am gonna have to replace it. and i am eliminating egr so i need a j code intake manifold i was wondering if the intake manifold off my father in laws old 93 6.5 turbo diesel truck would work its sitting in the basement so its free. also the factory gauge cluster was removed in the years the truck sat so i was wondering if anyone can tell me where i can get one or can i use a gas motor gauge cluster? and one more question the front end is rusted and missing the grill and other pieces well i have a mint front clip off the 78 suburban monster truck i got in the trade and my jimmy is factory ac delete and is missing the oil cooler i was wondering if i when i put the suburban front on the blazer would the suburbans ac cooler work as an oil cooler? the jimmy's oil cooler was pulled along time ago and the lines were looped backed together. i have a very tight budget for this truck cuz i am broke as hell and trying to restore my firebird at the same time as this truck. so i wanna try and make this thing work with parts i have laying around if possible. any help is greatly appreciated thank u.
