Wiring a remote battery disconnect, need to find a certain wire...help?

I tried posting this in stereo/electronics, but couldn't get an answer. Maybe someone here can help...

I've got a trunk-mounted battery for my '93 Camaro Z28, and I have a Painless Remote Disconnect w/Latching Solenoid (p/n# 30206), and wiring the unit itself is no problem. The question I have is, there's an extra red wire that the manual says is to keep power flowing to necessary components. I really couldn't care less about my radio, but I'm more interested in finding the wire necessary to keep power to my PCM's memory, possibly even accessory lights. Any clue how I can go about finding these "key" wire(s)???

Yeah, I have a Chilton's and Hayne's manuals, but for me, trying to navigate through a wiring diagram is like an uneducated child of a US illegal immigrant trying to read and understand Aramaic...

Seriously though, I'm just worried I'd be clipping/splicing the wrong wires at the wrong points. I was just hoping maybe someone with experience might be able to tell me, "Oh, it's x, x, & x, and they're found here, here, and there..."

The ECM BAT circuit is what you would need to keep powered to retain the computer memory.
