Sweet, so all I need for the choke to work properly is a mere switched 12v source controlled by the key, correct?... So there isn't something that shuts the choke off during regular vehicle operation, just when the key is off, correct?...

Yep, that's about the size of it. If your electric choke has two terminals, one gets power, the other goes to ground.

Sweet, thanks a bunch for the info, I'll get that choke wired this weekend for sure... Now if I could just figure out the others, this project would be done... But from research, it appears that there was a special compressor wiring harness which would've included the idle solenoid wire as well... Thanks again...

Yes, when the A/C compressor kicks in the idle solenoid is powered to step the idle up so it wont die when the extra load is on the engine.

That's kinda what I thought, I was looking for the wires for these guys but no luck, looks like I'm missing a small harness... If I can find the harness, any idea where the harness would plug into?...

No, I know it operates off the A/C ckt. fuse, and a switched relay that is energized when the compressor gets power. The contacts of the relay close and the idle solenoid powers up to step the idle up. I could wire it if I needed one, but not sure about the harness or where it plugs in.
