Default Fox swap question. Only a couple.

I'm about to do the ls1 swap into my fox and there are some things i havn't really gotten a clear answer about. First one is im going to use all aftermarket gauges and am not going to have a/c or smog. So is the factory harness good for this or should i get a sponser harness? And will the sponser harness run everything including gauges and electric fan?

The other question is where do you moun the slave cylinder? i herd some people mount it where the clutch cable would be. Is that the best spot?

Here is my fox which will recieve the transplant.

If you are not going to use the factory gauges, remove the entire harness from the car and replace it with a painless whole car kit. The factory Ford harness is a mess, the schematics are terrible, and have ALOT of extra wires not needed. They only had one harness for the Mustang, so the LX, GT, 4cyl, and convertible had the same chassis harness.
