I've read a few different writeups, but never found one that detailed this part of the process. Any hints or pointers would be appreciated.

I ran mine through the passenger side, where a bundle of wires already goes through.

John | Pulled the air pump on the right side at the firewall. Located the existing wire bundle going through a gromet and ran the wire through. 1 hour job taking my time. I'll try to take some pics later today when I wash the car.

Thanks to everyone for all their help with the wiring. Once you showed me how to do it, it only took a couple of minutes to fish the wire through. All in all, the mod took me about 3 hours. But that included not having all the tools I needed next to me, several trips up and down the stairs between my garage parking space and my 3rd floor condo, working in dimly lit conditions, a trip to the grocery store (I needed milk) and a trip to Ace Hardware to get a reamer to mount the switch.
After a couple laps around the block, I really like it. Shifts are smoother and it's easier to rev match (especially helpful on my 3-2 shifts). I feel like I just have to touch the pedal to bring up the revs rather than jam my foot into it to accomplish the same thing.
