Just curious as I may have a surprise for the swappers in the future
I would however like to hear about your trials in the proscess.
I do see that most people do not do their own wiring conversions however I am pretty sure there are people here who have done it.

Been there, done that.
I start off by pruning the harnesses. I remove the fuse box plugs, oil level sensor and power steering plug from the GE harness. I remove the aristo body plug and the igniter. Unlike the other plugs the igniter requires cutting, I find the most convenient place is in the plastic protective casing on the head. By relocating the igniter not only does it look better but it stops you from having to extend the igniter to ecu wires.
The secret to merging is laying the two harnesses parallel. That'll allow you to make most of the cuts in the middle section. The section between the grommet on the firewall and the plastic piece on the intake manifold. Specifically you want to use the body and ecu plugs from the old harness.
Do not cut or extend the knock sensors. Instead reuse the GE ones.
For regular people the camshaft and crank sensors are the most troublesome because they require special shielded cable.

Ok this is good info! I have a friend who is a gifted wiring god and he is willing to help me do mine and over see everything I do and I would like to do a full photo write up as there is a lack of such a diy so I am gathering info right now and he will be reading this as well.
What I have is a 97 sc400 which is obd 2 of course and I think my best approach would to be use my 1993 sc300 harness that I bought and mod that one as opposed to tearing down the v-8 harness also what is involved with swapping a car from obd2 to non obd? Any tips there? I am sure we can get it figured out but I always listen to people with more exp than myself.
