'92 Skylark - need help with fixing

My '92 Skylark, written off as a total loss by insurance when a large Deer slammed into the front end, is too good to yet to give up -- only 80,000 original miles and rest of body is in great shape.
I recently purchased a '93 Skylark for parts to get the '92 up and running again.
Main damage from the deer was: 1) Trashed the hood 2) Trashed the right fender 3) Trashed the light assembly (r) and 4) Trashed the Grill. After the accident the engine would still start just fine but everything under the hood now tilts a bit towards the rear.
What I need to know is if someone can help me knowwhere to find a large picture of the schematics of the front end, under the hood, etc. so I can have something to reference when I switch over the parts to fix the '92.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thx,
Bill

BillBill, The problem with these cars is, They don't have much frame. It sounds like the unibody may have been damaged. If this is the case you may have to get it straightened. It will probably cost plenty to do this. This is why they total these cars out so easily for insurance.
