I put a 1990 engine into a 2005 bike and then went to hook up the electrical connections.....

umm, WTF?   Are any of the connectors compatible?  Looks like a few hours of tracing electrical diagrams is in my future.

I believe you actually want to swap in several 2005 parts - neutral switch, signal generator, the plug for the hole where the older engine has a mechanical tach drive.
1990 GS500EL - with moderately-ugly paintjob.
1982 XJ650LJ -  off the road for slow repairs

Is there a guide/thread anywhere on it?

That's got some of it. The neutral switch being different was mentioned in a gear indicator thread.
