I started a 3sgte swap into my 98 celica just a few days ago. Everything has been going well so far, engine is in on 3 mounts ( fourth is poly filled drying currently) The problem I'm currently having iis being massively overwhelmed by the wiring. The harness was still on the engine when I bought it. Between coolant lines, vacuum lines and connectors I don't know where to start. I spent all day scouring through other forums and posts and haven't find anything as helpful as I'd like. 6 hours today looking at my engine bay and maybe two connectors plugged in. Any help or advice would be much appreciated

Sounds good. That's what steps I started tonight. I separated my 22 pin from the 5s harness and will plug it in and then follow it to both 3s harness and 5s harness to see which connector I will have to pull next. Longest part currently is finding the needed wiring diagrams. The labeling and marking for harness separation can be a pain but isn't near as time consuming. There are benefits and downsides to having the engine with the harness already attached. I didn't realize how much wiring there would be with the second gen or I would've pulled the harness before dropping the engine in.
