You should not need and won't want the fuse holder if you go the route I did. I recommend you consider what Veen and Balto said above too. Most importantly, be prepared to experiment and the experience failure. Don't cut into wires without a schematic for the wiring system and consider how a given wire might serve several systems. For example, when I cut my switch, it also cuts the fuel pump. No problem, since I am cutting the engine. But if you have an alarm or a car-immobilizer security system, it could get dicey. Plan carefully. Get a wiring diagram. Always try a reversible version of the mod before a permanent one.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
