Default mk4 escort efi to frst ofab conversion

ive got a escort mk3 se cabriolet. Im putting my frst engine in which runs on ofab. I wanted to make the conversion look factory so decided to fit the mk4 efi escort loom. I found a website called www.rsbible.co.uk. It tells me quite alot about the conversion but have came across a couple of issues that is not explained and i tried to contact the person who wrote the info but cant get a reply. It says about a couple of pin changes to run ofab,which is easy enough to understand,but i was wondering if there is a certain way to remove the pins without breaking them??? also as im going to run ofab,i will have to fit the supressor....BUT WHERE DOES IT GO as i cant work out where it should fit........finally how do i go around fitting the map sensor? does anyone know or if anyone else has done this conversion???
