1.8 kr engine help

hi, new on the forum and new to mk1 golfs. i have bought a 1.1c mk1 with a 1.8kr engine sat in on the mounts. i have no idea where the wiring loom plugs plug into on the engine, there are many 2pin plugs that fit many plugs on the engine and 2 3pin plugs, i think i have located just 2 plugs, 1blue plug that sits tp the passenger side of the manifold and 1 3pin plug that fits slightly behind on a cylinder. also any help on wiring the fuse box up would be helpful as i have only the mk1 fusebox and unsure if the kr loom fits into it or i need a mk2 fusebox. any help, pictures would be appreciated greatly

the small white sender on the back of the head is the mfa oil temp sender (green/black wire). the 3 small black senders on the side of the head are coolant temp, you have dash (red/yellow), ecu (blue/white) and isv controller (red/green). the large brown 2 pin plug is the 5th injector thermoswitch (red/black and green/white). the blue injector on the end of the inlet is the 5th injector (black and green/white) just below this is the wur, has an electrical plug and 2 fuel lines (red/white and brown)

finally round the front is the oil filter housing with the brown or blue 0.3bar oil pressure switch (yellow) and the white 1.8 bar oil switch (blue/black)

MK2 loom wont fit directly becasue the fusebox is on the opposite side of the car, unless you manage to find a LHD loom. also depending on your car the plugs may or may not fit. early ceramic fusebox nothing will fit you'll have to make it, later blade fusebox you can use a pre-90 mk2 16v loom just modify the lengths so it fits the mk1 bay. 90spec mk2 has different plugs again so wont plug in.
