Default E-fan question

Ok guys, Im gonna go ahead and install the ls1 efans on my truck since my relays and relay sockets came in the mail this weekend. So I'm heading out to buy the wires and fuse holders...I don't know how much wire to buy. Here is the schematic im going to use...

So I know Im going to need the following...correct me if Im wrong
1. 3 fuse holders
2. 1 10Amp fuse and 2 30Amp fuses

About how many feets of each wire do you guys think I need?

Thanks in advance.

You shouldn't need anymore than 30 or 40 feet total - and I think I'm being generous with that number. I would just buy a few different colored wire packages. I think they come about 50 feet to a packge, but they're not that much $. Then you extra wire for later projects.

Thanks for the reply Snakeoiler.

I bought 12' of 12AWG red wire, 12' of 12AWG black wire, 10' of yellow 16AWG wire(they were out of orange ), and 10' of 16AWG black wire. I think this should be enough.

Now where can I buy the pin that goes on blue pin #42, and where is a good place to wire the "hot when in run or on" wire?

Check with Flipper, he said he had a bunch -I'm sure he might still have some. If not, you can get one from the dealership - pn 12084912 (this one is for 18AWG, but should work)

Tap off of an ignition circuit in the fuse box area would be the best place. If you don't have a service manual for the pin outs, just get out a multi-meter and start testing.
