Here's a neat/clean/unobtrusive way to run your elec H2O pump relay

Notice in the blue loom, the ground wire from the water pump breaks out of it onto the ground stud on the fenderwell. The ground that goes TO the relay leaves the same stud, over to the factory harness, then down it a few inches and comes back out under everything, and back up to the relay.
I pulled my 12V+ to trip the relay off the pink wire in the 8-pin/only 2 wire connector I think it was, the pink wire. Continuity checks out to the ignition fuse on the other side of the engine bay, so no sense in running a wire all the way across.
You can see it here, the pink wire with the blue tapped off it. Just stuff them both back into the factory loom, run the blue down to the same spot the ground came out, and back up to the relay.

The 15A fuse there is pretty much done the same way, butt-connected to some red wire and ran down the loom, then over/up to the relay. The easiest way to run the wire from the water pump itself, the power wire, was as shown, in the blue loom, and just wrapped around like that. A lot of that will be covered by the Power Steering Reservoir anyways!
Just giving you some ideas, and keeps you from running wires all around your engine bay.
