Powering junction block to a no power option camaro

Okay I've searched and searched on a way to power up a junction block on my 1985 camaro sport coupe but still can't figure it out. I didn't have any power options so I bought a power door from a junkyard, c238 junction block, new window motor, door lock actutator, and a power harness from an 86 z28. So my question is, how do I get power from the fuse block to the junction block? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

if you are using the stock fuse block under the dash I believe there are several unused slots. You put a wire in there, run it to your new junction block's source, and then you will have to work out the grounds as needed.

I could be wrong, its been a long time since i looked at the empty spots on my GTA's fusebox.

Check your existing harness... The necessary wire may be taped up in it. If not, go to a J/Y and snip a couple. You need both the orange AND the pink ones. You will run the pink to an ignition-on source and the orange to constant-hot. With fuses, of course, or a breaker, in the case of the power windows.

Just took it to the shop and decided to let them do it before I blow something up. Plus I got the spoiler break light wired in also.
