Horn Relay
 
So I'm rewiring under the hood trying to get things cleaned up - adding fusible links - distribution blocks - relays for the lights and electric fan and started staring at this huge horn relay - given I am rewiring and adding distribution blocks at the core support and one at the firewall that I will use to shorten the power-up wire to the fuse box and give myself clean places to connect to power - can I replace this oversized relay with a small relay like I'm using for my lights and fan?

Yes, you can replace the stock horn relay with a modern relay like the ones you're using for your headlights & fan. The two screw terminals on the stock horn relay served as a power distribution block. But that is no longer needed since you're adding your own distribution blocks.
