tpi to carb fuel pump wiring

well i did the tpi to carb swap awile back and left the computer in now i would like to run the fuel pump on a switch so i can remove the underhood mess. I bought a jegs relay kit i plan to run a 12 volt power from the battery to relay then from there run a wire to the toggle switch and another to the factory fuel pump power wire which is really small will have problems splicing the jegs 12 gauge wire to the factory wire?

If you remove the ECM harness, that's 90% of the "mess".

You'll need some way to lock up the TCC.

Other than that, run new copper for your fuel system electricals.

Hey, I am in the process right now of trying to wire my fuel pump, my interior is compleltly out, I am just not sure which wires get power and which get grounded, I plan on running it to a switch also, but dont have the wiring diagrams. My wiring is compleltly out of my engine bay (except for the wiper and lights...).
Thanks for any help.
