An Electrical 'distribution block' for extra Switched items ? Options

[Literati914]

I'm adding several aux items to the electrical system of my '72.. most of which will be powered thru relays (constant + and switched power). The constant power will be via an extra fuse block that I'm adding over towards the right hand side of the steering column w/ a red power wire directly from the battery.

My question is - can I simply add a single wire from a switched location on the OE fuse block (#9) and run it over to an aftermarket 'distribution block' at the right of the column?

This way I could potentially add several 'switched' relays off of it, as well as just switched/non-relay items.. while not cramming so many extra wires into the stock fuse box. This seems preferable but I can not find an instances of anyone going this route. So in theory it seems logical to me - will this not work ?

Adding anything with either a motor or an incandescent light increases the load on a circuit.

I wouldn't want all of my relays firing at the same time an electric motor is running.

Well while not right away, an A/C condenser and Evaporator fans are planned to be run thru here in the nearer future (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . And ..eventually probably radiator fans (and/or fans controller) if I decide to convert to a suby H6 (but I suppose that’ll be a whole separate electrical can of worms).
