thanks. since posting I went through all the pages and some associated links. Think I have a good grip on what to do. just waiting for my stalk to arrive. might skip the clutch switch for now and drive around it. sounds like I dont have to dig under the dash and engine bay if I do save it for never.

For me, the wiring was tied down by wire tie just above the clutch.. Cut the wire tie and pull wiring down and there it is ready to plug into the switch.

By my logic, If you don't have switch installed, the car will be thinking the clutch is not engaged and therefore cruise control won't turn on.

If I am wrong and it works, just be careful cause if you have CC engaged and you press down on clutch, the engine will rev up quickly and could damage engine if you leave it revving long enough.
