I would imagine that by the time you buy good quality connectors, good wiring of the correct colors, and all the stock-style plugs and sockets, you won't be saving a whole lot over the cost of a kit like the AAW Classic Update kit, which has the added benefits of supporting both stock setups or updates for many systems in the vehicle, such as the alternator, distributor, etc. Also, the AAW kit has every wire labelled all along it's length, which makes tracing wires later easier.
Lots of little extra features which make these kits very, very nice, and worth the money in my opinion. Let me throw in one extra -- I soldered every connector on my AAW kit -- and in doing so, I found that the wires they use have excellent heat resistance in the cladding, which is very nice also.
