Default 2001 f150 xl manual to power

Morning. I have a 2001 f150 4.2, 164 k original. Km.have upgraded to step bars,grille,rear slider. I am in the process of converting Manual to power options. I had donor vehicle for harness, regulators,mirrors,new door panels and switches. Ps..took couple extra switches to be safe. Removed panels,dash,removed Wire harness and cut in half for simplicity. Take a punch to center of pop rivets and hammer out for regulators, then take chisel on a 45 angle and hammer out remaining rivet...pretty easy. Have reinstalled power regulators,mirrors,and locks . Have placed wire harness into factory area on both doors, ran wire into interior, fed wire under dash to fuse box area and joined all cut wires together. I tested items BEFORE installing. Now, I have factory plugs by driver emergency brake area. Now I need switched power supply .
I notice on new harness an extra plug I presume for power, grounds,etc. Can I get a donor connector, plug it in and plug directly into unused socket on side of fuse box? I removed fuse box from donor truck and looks identical to mine. I don't require key fob for now , or alarm system. Just want to control mirrors and Windows while driving basically. Don't want to butcher lines either. Any input..can provide photos tks..Tom

Any fun performance mods planned for the truck?
