Putting a 94 ST back together, input needed Options

Updated 1/14 @ 6AM (who needs sleep when you have an awesome project car?)

Okay, since this place has all the 6th gen experts and is obviously more generation-specific than my native CelicaTech, I'm going to post some pictures of things I'm just not sure about... if for nothing else, than to log my questions in a productive place. I have searched but yielded no solid answers to my many questions, but if I happen to find answers, I will post them here. I have the manual available on CelicaTech, as well as access to AllData/ShopKey.
The subforums here are pretty broad, so please excuse me if I'm posting out of place.
I have pictures to accompany most of my questions, and will be linking to them instead of using IMG tags. The pictures are 960x540 or 800x600.

A little background on the car: I purchased this 104k-mile 1994 ST automatic coupe from a local for $500. I have experience with the 5sfe, 3sgte, and 4age20v engines... so I figured this would be a walk in the park. Car hasn't ran in some 7 years. There was an issue with the crank pulley supposedly being welded to the block on the old engine, so it was replaced with a ~30k-mile JDM 7AFE. The engine is bolted into the bay, and kind of runs. There were some cut/spliced wires around the engine bay: one was at the starter, wired to a push button, another at the neutral safety switch on a black and yellow wire. I pulled both connectors and repaired the wires. Jumping the terminals in the diagnostic port shows no codes.

So here are some issues I'm still having trouble with.

1. Shift Interlock: Car does not start with the key, hence the push button. When I shut the car off, I cannot remove the key without removing the battery.
A Prolock immobilizer was installed, and there was no fob to deactivate it. Removed it, and it start up. That push button was also spiced into IGN 1, which is apparently a bad thing.

2. Transmission shift cable: Is there supposed to be a bracket that holds the cable in place? I have searched toyodiy.com and cannot find a dead-giveaway part description. I am assuming I am missing something that should be in this picture.

3. Speedometer and tachometer do not work. Temperature and gas gauges work, as well as the rest of the instrument panel.

4. There is a black wire running near the engine bay fuse box.
This was actually just a loose piece of wire that didn't go to anything. After I removed the front bumper, I could pull it loose.

5. The pre-cat oxygen sensor wire connector is missing. I do not know where this routes from.

6. There is a grey shielded wire leading out of the engine bay harness near the fuse box. It has an insulated white wire inside of it, with another wire (possibly shielding).

7. There is a teal-ish colored connector on the backside of the intake manifold. I'm not sure what this is, but I haven't looked it up yet. I do not know what connector goes to this, or if it is applicable to my JDM 7AFE.
I think this is an EGR VSV, p/n 90910-12169. I can't find that part number on google, ebay, 1sttoyotaparts or lithiatoyotaparts, so I can't reference it. I looked up the wires in the wiring diagram, which conveniently just says "top rear of engine" without listing what it is. WTF Toyota.

8. There are two vacuum hoses on the rear of the engine near the firewall that I am unsure of. Possibly a VSV I have yet to hook up. They appear to be connected to the power steering pump.

9. Two connectors near the throttle body; one grey, one orange/brown.
Grey connector is for the EGR valve that is not used on JDM engines. Other connector is for an EGR Control Solenoid, p/n 90910-12141.

10. Bolted to the intake manifold is a ground wire connector that I can't find a mate to. There is also a similar connector on the valve cover. One of these might not be in the right place, but I'd like verification before I just start removing things.
The ground wire connected to the valve cover wasn't the factory location. Connected the factory ground wire to chassis ground.

11. Engine will not start without starter fluid or gas spray in the throttle body. Once started, it will stay running. Jumping +B and FP, I can hear the pump running.

12. Engine fans automatically turn on when battery is connected. Only way to turn them off is to pull the relays or disconnect the battery.

13. I found the AC Idle-Up VSV (p/n 192000-3042) laying in the bay, so I hooked it to its mount. One of the hoses goes to the intake manifold, so now what does that other vacuum nipple go to?

That's all I can think, or atleast all I have pictures of right now. Any input is appreciated.

Found out why it wouldn't start with the key: Prolock immobilizer, and I don't have the keyfob to that. Cut it out and spliced the starter wire back together, and it fires up.
