Looks good! You will get there, and you will happy once you get to drive it. Wiring sucks sometimes. I’m currently wiring a c10 with Dakota digital, and keyless door poppers for someone. There was so much excess wiring in the truck from the previous owner.

I know the wiring is intimidating. I've done several complete rewires now. They aren't the most fun, but a great upgrade. I found that the first step was to read the instructions (several times) to get a good understanding of what you're about to do. Then, just follow the instructions, one at a time, in order, and keep at it. The effort is worth it in the end when you turn the key and discover everything works.

Congratulations from the pics you are coming to completion. I will also second the "read the instructions" (several times). IMHO the wire harness is on top of the list of good upgrades. One mistake I made, I did not include the tach wire in the plug, and had to drop the dash to get at it correctly. Just a note, my 67 is a copy of your 66, I have the same accessory drive but found the accessory drive did not give me enough clearance and had to move the engine back (about an inch) to accommodate the radiator. You may want to check on your clearance at the tensioner. That is going to be one nice ride when you finish. Take the time to enjoy not only the 66 but the time you get with dad.
