You may want to check that wire harness closely before you begin running
wires.  I went looking for a replacement wire harness for the Corsa ragtop
when
I was putting it back together following its acquisition (24 years ago) after
someone had removed the dash and cut the plug off the wire harness under the
dash as well as cut the plug off the body harness at the engine bay firewall
meaning I had to replace two harnesses, among a number of other things.   I
gave another chapter member 20 bucks for both wire harnesses out of a '65
Monza
parts car (no Corsa parts cars available locally), expecting to have to run
tach and thermistor wires etc.   Both harness sections already had the tach
and
thermistor wires in the harness, straight plug-in and go.   Surprised me,
actually.   

Of course you may not get as lucky... but check your wire harness close for
the
extra wires before you start crawling through the tunnel pan running extra
wire.
