You are correct. If you want a "plug and play" harness, the AAW harness is a very nice piece.
Another thing to remember...a lot of the universal kits don't accommodate an ammeter gauge. Mixing and matching ammeter/voltmeter wiring and gauges can create a serious wiring issue. It's much more serious if you're putting in a voltmeter gauge with ammeter wiring, because an ammeter needs the full volts and amps present at the gauge, where the voltmeter is just looking for voltage only.
In the -73-'87 section, the guys with the '73-'74 trucks that had ammeter gauge clusters and had upgraded to '75 and up voltmeter clusters and didn't fix the wiring burned their wiring and clusters up. High amps will blow through a 20 gauge wire like it was never there.
