Lt1 wiring.... fusing?!

Hey guys, I had my harness reworked by a person, so all i have are like 7 wires. For the switched and the constant, I just found two wires under the hood and tapped into them. Are these probably already fused, or not?

Also, I have relays for the fan and fuel pump.. how should these be fused, and what amp rating??

Thanks!!!

all origional power wires from the car are fused...unless it's directly from the battery. the relays for my fuel pump and fans have 12 v. power going to them.

Thanks for the reply. That saves a lot of headaches, but I'll still need to probably fuse my fuel pump and electric fan, I have a former carb'ed car.

if you are unsure if a hot wire has a fuse in it or not...or can't find one, i would put a fuse in it....2 fuses is better than none
