Stock, there are a couple of sets of wires in the engine compartment. 2 going towards the decklid on the right side - lower for the tail lights and along the top for the test harness (defunct, don't worry about it).
You'll have a set running behind the engine along the firewall to the left side to land at the regulator on the left side of the car on the firewall.
This post is a great writeup on how to do the wiring conversion:
