Default Manual to C-4 Swap - Neutral Safety Switch Question

I am in the process of finishing the C-4 swap on my Fox Body and am trying to figure out how to change the "Neutral Safety" wiring from the manual over to the C-4.

I have the micro switch on the shifter, however am trying to figure out which wires I should run to the switch.

It appears that there is some type of switch attached to the top of the old clutch pedal via a small cable. The switch has 4 wires coming out of it and I would guess this is what I need to tap in to...however I am not sure which wires to use.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

The clutch switch is your best bet, if you're looking for a starter circuit interupter.
It's a dual circuit switch. One part interupts the starter circuit, and the other part reports to the computer. The part that reports to the computer is also a part of the 5-speed's neutral switch circuit.
If you want to scan for the Key On Engine Running codes, you'll need to jump that circuit. The computer either needs to think that the tranny is in neutral, or that the clutch pedal is being held down, to throw the Engine Running codes.
I suspect that the clutch switch uses 4 wires, 2 for the computer, and 2 for the starter. You might have to wait till you're ready to start the car, and see which 2 wires (when connected) allow the starter to crank - just be careful not to mix the computer circuit with the starter circuit - study the switch, to determine which 2 wires go to each circuit.

The other trick is that there appears to be two sets of wires that are the same color...

For example, 2 are Yellow and Pink and 2 are Light Blue and Red

I am not sure if those are the actual colors or not.
