Default help with engine wire harness

I just got a used engine wire harness for my car. My engine code is AEB 99.9 Q tiptronic, is this a easy thing to swap out? Are there any diagrams available that can help me?

if you get stuck on wiring colours because the wiring you have is from an earlier model perhaps I can help, I have the diagram but its way too big to download and my digi cam has in the past not been of much help
