The dash wiring
Oil pressure, white/red stripe wire
Engine temp, black/light Blue
Tach, tan/yellow

Some models have an "oil level" sensor on the oil pan, white/pink stripe wire if so equipped

Alternator or voltage regulator light green/red stripe wire, Battery Light wire, its the on/off switch for any charging system you end up using

Red/light Blue stripe wire, only has 12v with key turned to START, activates starter motor relay

Red/light Green stripe wire, has 12v with key on and in START, powers Spark system

Don't know what an sn95 is but the wires I listed have nothing to do with a fuel injection system, they are just for the instrument cluster and start/charge systems

Also don't know what a ccrm is either, but you can replace mechanical fan with electric on any vehicle, this change is self-contained not part of current vehicles wiring

If its a 12volt fan on both I don't see why you couldn't use the fan you want, it does have 2 speeds

Found this for the Constant Control Relay Module, they should just call it relay box, not sure where "constant control" comes in, lol

As long as you don't exceed the AMP rating for the fan relays you should be fine, looks to be 60amps from the diagrams on that page

Found this pic with labels: https://mustangforums.com/forum/attachments/5-0l-1979-1995-mustang/69409d1501443679-1995-mustang-gt-ccrm-repair-image2197relays.jpg

They will be in the engine wiring harness for most of them, but most come from the large firewall connector on drivers side
You will have to pull them out of the engine wiring harness loom that goes to the EFI computer
