Default CEL relocation?

So I removed my cluster in my 91 crx si and I didn't think about needing a the CEL. Is there another way to get the codes or is there a way to relocate it and wire it to an LED?

Assuming you are running OBD1.

Since OBD1 uses the CEL on the cluster, you can just wire the CEL lamp anywhere you want.
Switched +12v -> 12v LED (or a 5v LED and a resistor) -> ECU pin A13

Again, if OBD1 you can use an electronic VSS instead of the mechanical version found on these cars.
