I have an 87 chevy celebrity that stalls when I’m slowing down. I
need to locate the TCC solenoid so that I can unplug this to
troubleshoot the problem, but I don’t have a scematic of the engine,
anyone know where to find it?

This sounds like same problem I had with an '89. The transmission lock up
solenoid was the problem. Common on these units. The connector is at front
on the transaxle fairly easy to spot. Disconnecting will fix the problem but
will cost you about 2 mpg I'm told. Changing the solenoid is the way to go
and isn't such a major job. Access through the left wheel well. There is a
side cover to remove. Seems to me you don't even have to drain the oil from
the tranny but I did just the same to check the condition of the oil etc and
change the filter. I could have left that part though. Clean as whistle.
Whole job parts oil and filter was about $100.

Temporarily you can just unplug the TCC solenoid.
It's a 4 wire connector. Open the hood and look down on the driver's
side, low to the ground. The connector wil be sticking out of the
transmission, just behind the radiator.
Just unplug it. It would be a good idea to put some electrical tape
on the plug and on the connector so the metal prongs won't rust.

Eventually you can change the solenoid out. Someoen described how to
do this. I did it and it wasn't complicated. There was a metal brace
I needed to remove, and the transmission side cover. I just needed
the new solenoid and a new side cover gasket. As long as you don't
get dirt into the transmission you don't need to change the fluid.
