Re: Ha - Is this the electrical I have to look forward to?

5 might be the TH400 kickdown wire. My 68 Impala had that as part of the on engine linkage. At some point, that moved to the cab as part of the in cab gas pedal setup.

9 Many vehicles from that era had an AC fuse as part of the AC wiring harness. If that is a 2 slot connector, might be for the AC fuse.

7 would be about right for an electric oil sender wire but I thought most 71s had a mechanical sender.

Where is(are) the wire(s) for the Alternator?

A lot of AC equipped vehicles had an idle solenoid that sat on the driver's side of the carb. It would be a single wire that would also tie to the AC compressor wire. When the compressor switched on, the solenoid would advance the idle speed a bit to prevent stalling.
