I think the easiest thing to do is just adapt a later harness to it. The only weirdness is that with the '85 the big 6-pin connector is on the driver's side of the car instead of the passenger's side. Your two options are cut off the connectors on the driver's side and extend the wires to the passenger side, or (vice versa) cut the wires from the '85 harness and graft them to the positions on the '86+ harness. I've chosen the latter in the past to get as much '85 crap wiring out of there as possible.
I've found that replacing this stuff fixes about 80% of the wiring harness problems in '85 cars. The rest of it is pretty straightforward - the 10 or 12 connections along the driver's side of the engine for things like the brake fluid sensor, alternator, oil pressure switch, etc. With the engine harness out of the way, the rest isn't a major challenge.
