i ran some wires for a stereo and drilled a hole above the gas pedal so wires come out just next to the throttle cable.

there is a rubber grommet just under the cruise control actuator (ball looking thing on the fire wall). Pop out the grommet, make a little hole in it and insert the wires, then put it back.
