Importing Bookmarks, Contacts & Calendar without Migration Assistant

This should be a common question, but the board always replies negative when I ask so I'll post here.

I want to do a selective install of certain apps from my Yosemite back up. I can copy the non-Apple apps. I moved non-desired apps into another folder. I don't want to import anything into Photos. It's still a mess from my initial merge, thumbs of images not stored on the computer, but on the external drive, etc. Very confusing but obviously a process that many will integrate. I have no desire for iCloud backup, that created a mess in my Address book and Calendar with duplicates, with a long manual cleanup. So I won't run M.A. as it's all or nothing with the apps.

Right now, I'm trying to import contacts, bookmarks and calendars. I used M.A. for the system settings. I've been trying to locate a plist file for Safari and Contacts to drop into the El Cap folder with no luck. I'm assuming they're in the User/Library, which is now hidden in Yosemite and El Cap. I may be off track here.

I really need to access Bookmarks and Contacts asap. Again, it seems like a common question, but I'm having trouble negotiating this board, learning curve I guess.

Any advice would be greatly appreicated!
