Question power sources for 3 gauges and 3 switches

I have 3 switches and 3 gauges.. Where can I get the power sources or the best way to wire them in? Rather not have a relay for each if I dont need..
Switches are:
Bottle Heater- need a accessory
Nitrous Arming Switch- need accessory
Purge- need power source

Gauges:
Nitrous Gauge: Need Illumination
Trans Temp: Need power and illumination
Fuel Pressure: Power and Illumination

I'd do it the right way. Run a power wire off the battery and a wire from ignition from the ignition harness. In my LT1 it's pink and if you have a 95z it will be the same. Use a relay and a sufficient gauge wire. You don't want to tap for everything right off the ignition harness or on any other wire in the car.

Here's the wire color codes for the harness for a 95 camaro

Constant 12V+ Red Ignition Switch Harness
Starter Yellow Ignition Switch Harness
Ignition Pink Ignition Switch Harness
Ignition 2 Brown Ignition Switch Harness
Accessory Orange Ignition Switch Harness (Heat/AC)
Tach White V6 Or White/Black (-) V8 At Coil or Distributor
Neutral Safety Wire Orange/Black (-) Switch Base of Gear Shift
Brake Switch Yellow Brake Switch
Trunk Release Black Switch or Driver's Kick Panel
Trunk Pin Gray (-) Behind left Rear Speaker
Parking Lights Brown Driver's Kick Panel
Head Lamp Yellow Light Switch
Hood Pin n/a
Door Trigger White (-) Courtesy Light under Dash
Door Lock Light Blue Driver's Kick Panel Reverse Polarity
Door Unlock Black Passenger's Switch is Master Switch
Horn Wire Black (-) Steering Column
Windows Up LF=Blue, RF=Blue
Windows Down LF=Brown, RF=Tan

Oh yeah, illumination is gray wire in the radio harness. Be sure to test with a meter before making any connections. Always good to double check.
