I don't know about your harness but am not too happy about having ALL the lighting circuits (green wires) coming off one fuse. I broke mine down into instrument, interior, accessory and other circuits that have their own fuses. The white switched power wiring also has its own circuits for things like the senders (yup it's fused too). Also, diagrammed above shows virtually no wiring protection for the headlamp circuit. Kinda scary by today's standards.
However if you are shooting for keeping things original, then I guess you're OK as long as you don't try to overburden what's there.
Remember, fuses protect WIRING, not the thing at the end of the wire that's doing the work.
So they prevent having major meltdowns of your harness.
Bill, I gutted the regulator and hid a 10 circuit fuse box inside, still looks original, but it'll be a completely modern harness when I'm done.
