stealing 12v power for my dd box

k ive never had to do wiring actually inside a car, so im a little lost. Need to steal 12v power for my dakota vss converter, car is a 90 camaro so theres no vss buffer its all tied to the ecm.

two things i dont understand

looking at my helm inc service manual, the two wires coming off the vss by the ecm says are pin B9 and B10, that i get.

However the wire going to the cluster, and for the ground have a number written on both sides of the wire for instance the cluster is B11 but C1 is underlined on the other side of the wire.

anyways theres a pink and black wire in A6 that goes to the ecm fuse, is this power for the vss circuit? or is the vss just run off the ecm power and this is something else completly.

i dont totally understand, most important thing is that i just need to know where i should be tapping into a wire, if i should be going off a wire near the ecm, or if i should just wire off something by the fuse box like my gauges.
