Need help, non-Ford (sorry)

My grandpa has a 1990 chevy celebrity with the V6. It needs a new ECU and I was going to replace it myself, any ideas on where the ECU will be located? Or perhaps do you know where I could find an Engine diagram for it? Ive googled but found nothing. THanks in advance.

It is located behind the glove box. Follow the link below. It tells the location of GM vehicle ECM's.
