The steering column harness's plug into J, H1, and H2. The good thing is the column harness is the same for gas and diesel so you should be able to pull that harness from any Mk3 donor. Pretty good chance the switch stalk that goes on the Mk3 column will bolt onto the Mk1 column. If not you can use the Mk1 switches and addapt the wires to the CE2 fuse block connectors. It will be much easier if you have all the correct plugs to go into the fuse block. I have swapped a 86 harness into an 84 and 78 chassis. I adapted the wires at the lights and had to make an adapter/splice in the harness to the instrument cluster to keep the original cluster. With my TDi swap I am planing to use the 97 cluster and make it fit in the earlier dash ( best laid plans so to speak) since there is so much more computer interaction with the cluster. There are some slight differences between the Passat and Jetta TDi computers.
I use painters tape and sharpie marker to mark notes on wires and connectors. I learned a while ago thats the easiest way to know where things go... unless the tape gets ripped off.. ggrrr. Label as you go and keep whittling away and you eventually get it done.
