You should be fine with just the 160* thermostat, but if you want to add the fans, I think shbox.com has the diagram.

I took apart the Fuse Box under the Hood there and pretty much re-wired everything. I re-built the Circuits to where each Fan is controlled by one Relay, and I have a 2 Switches in the Car controlling the Fans.
