in case this helps anyone else:
I dropped down the splash guard on the driver's side with a 10mm wrench and pried open the air pump with a flat screwdriver.. there are 3 tabs to do this on:
I then removed and taped off the power wires that you see here.
After that, i put it all back together and then pulled the ECU box apart to get to the harness, and wire tapped the diode into place like so:
After putting that back together, i found the purple vacuum line, disconnected it, then put vacuum tube caps over the nipple.. the size i had was a bit too big, so i zip tied it to the solenoid here:
