The hardest part of reading the wiring diagrams is following a wire through 
one of the connectors.  The connector diagrams do match up with the 
physical connectors, but that doesn't help reading the schematics very 
much.  The best way is to follow the color codes on the diagrams -- 
Chevrolet was consistent on this; if a 14 gage purple wire went into a 
connector, a 14 gage purple wire came out the other side.

You may want to make a copy of the diagrams from the shop manual, trim and 
tape them together, the use some colored pencils to mark the wires you are 
interested in.  Also it may help if you used a transparent ruler to help 
sight along the wires -- when there are several in parallel, it's easy to 
confuse them.
