Simply that.
You have to follow each wire back to the motherboard and see what the markings are on the connectors and drivers. once you figure out what they are mark them. The only tricky ones are the opto sensors as the three wires are the same color. You only need to figure out X Y Z though as the RAMPS will have no need for the door or filament sensor. Also you will need third party optical sensors or mechanical switches. The stock sensors are not compatible with a RAMPS or any other controller. If you use optos you will need to do some minimal cutting on the existing mounts as well as the end of the optos themselves. If you use mechanical switches then you will need to figure out a way to mount them.
I no longer have this machine but I do have a picture of my RAMPS wired in.

Wow, so much smaller than the gigantic stock board !

it's a little late, but could a damaged davinci board be replaced with a ramps 1.4? Is there any link with a guide of steps for the mod?
