It's a piece of cake if you want to use your stock button on your steering wheel. It's more of a pain if you use separate switch. I have Dixie horns in mine ....kind a cheesy but it's funny and distinct! I have 5 horns in mine! . It was a pain in the butt for me cos I had to find a place for them all. our engine bay is not the roomiest. I made brackets for the horns and put them between the radiator and front grille.

Cool, I did the same thing! I have the Hella dual airhorn kit, though. I saw a writeup that suggested installing them behind the fogs. Seemed to make things a lot more complicated. I just welded up a couple of stainless brackets and used the existing pre-threaded holes on the front brace by the radiator.

in the instuctions, the second caption down, shows a single wire setup (what i mean is a single wire to the OEM horn) that is what you will use.

you do not have to cut the oem wire either.. it has the proper connector to install it directly.
the horns are mounted on a bracket i made by going to home depot. it was a 4-5 foot piece of metal that has holes in it. i found it in the section with the metal dowels. it cost like $2-$5.. i cut it to the desired height.. i mounted it directly to the OEM horn bracket.

air horns

I have the Hella triple air horns which I bought online at Autobarn.com I believe. They were pretty cheap, about $45. I followed the instructions from MEGAMAX in the readers rides section. I put my horns by the washer fluid resevoir and tucked the compressor between the fender and the washer fluid resevoir. I made some brackets from pieces I found at Home Depot. It's I tight fit but they work pretty good.
