Westinghouse CC-774 Electric Range Re-Wiring Help! I refuse to quit on this thing

I have been doing what I can to restore a old 1950's or 1960's Westinghouse CC-774 Electric Range that was left with the house i just purchased. It would have been easier to just get a new stove but I think this thing is too is to rare and has too much character to just get rid of it. When I began trying to get all of components, none of the lighting components were operating this is because the last person who "fixed" the range, jerry-rigged the wiring not to code Since ive been working on this ive figured out that luckily all the components are working but were just not wired properly. I would be extremely grateful to anyone who can help me solve this ranges wiring out as ive had trouble finding someone who re-wires vintage electric ranges. This thing is the last thing in my house that is keeping it from becoming my home. I know im close to getting this thing functioning safely any help would be more than appreciated and would be very much grateful

My main question:
- How can i wire this thing up so all the components are functioning properly well also bypassing the the oven timer and the surface 2 prong outlet receptacle On the front of the range near switches Ive been stuck on where to put the neutral wires to complete the circuits ?

-Can i use my old working switches that powered the original surface burner using a 3 wire (red,black,white) circuit burners with newer 2 wire burners (red,black)?

-- The range is plugged into a 50amp receptacle (checked volage and iam getting proper voltage output)
-Im using 12AWG stranded copper wire to rewire the switches and 14 AWG stranded copper to wire to rewure the light components on the stove
-Main power runs through a fuse box that has a black lead wire coming from a 20Amp fuse that protects the ranges switches, and a second 15Amp fuse that has the red lead wire that protects all the lighting components.

-Ive been using a service manua for a AA-774 electric range that has almost identical components and wiring except for two small pilot lights that are attached to each of the CC-774 's ranges oven switches, unfortunately the picture taken of the back of the ovens wiring diagram is inelligable. The wiring diagram has decayed and is not longer on the back of the range.

-This stove has 2 ovens but I really only need to have one functioning

-Ive replaced the old surface burner switches and burners with infinite switches and new 2 wire (black & red) burners. The 2 ovens were working before i changed out the infinite switches, this is because the black, red, and white neutral wire were attached to the stove switches and the oven switches were drawing power from them

*Infinite Switch i replaced the 8 inch surface burners

I currently have it wired minus the neutral wires. I made a wiring harness for the red wires powering the light components running from the 15AMP fuse and black the wires running from the 20AMP fuse with pigtail connections to the components, and followed the other wiring from the wire diagrams I have linked. I hope you guys are able to help I refuse to give up on this thing
