well if you wanted to run a b20 harness in your 90 hb..
there is a harness under the dash ( chassis Harness )
there is a Harness in the engine bay connected to the engine disconnects on the driver and passanger side... 2-3 plugs on the passanger side and 1-2 on the driver side
there is a harness in the Rear to the tail lights rear wipers ect
aswell as some harness in your engine bay running to the lights and signals

since your 90 hb is a standard .. you would need to convert to MPFI
and modify your Stock STD engine harness to work on the b20 engine

So basically there a harness for a lot of stuff in the car,

lights harness,engine harness and the stuff inside the car..

So when doing a engine swap mainly i have to change is the engine harness only (beside ecu,axle,mounts ect).....and the ecu is connected to the engine harness not any other harness right...? How about the mpfi swap...does that have a harness of its own? Or is it one piece with the engine harness?

if you search up dpfi to mpfi. it will tell you step by step
basically you have to run some extra wires for the other injectors..
the ecu is connected inside the engine chassis harness and connects to the engine harness aswell...

when doing a b series into a ef....

Axels 90-91 and intermediate shaft
ecu pr3 and might be others...
Mount kit .. hasport..innovative or egay (not reccomended bad engine placments will casue you to blow axels hood clearence issues and so on)

you need to add some wires to your stock engine harness...
you cant use the b series harness you need your stock one and modify it
