You want to run all of that stuff, put in an auxiliary bus panel.
Nobody is saying you should not add to or modify your harness, the
point is that it is not cost effective or expedient to do so when they
are so reasonably and readily available.

Bugeye with alternator, electronic speedo, electric tach, electric
fan,
halogen headlights, clock, and ammeter. Relays for headlights (high
and low
beam) and a relay for the fan.
You want me to run all of this through a 2 fuse box?
You all know what a stock harness looks like after it's been modified
to add
stuff not included on these cars as original equipment.
No, I don't want to hear from the originality crowd on the list.
IMO, all good reason to build your own harness.
