Side question... Is it a bad idea to use the self adhesive foil? I don't want the glue/adhesive catching fire.

Update - The self adhesive doesn't come in 24 inch wide so never mind.

About to start on the Firewall and Tunnel with the materials I received today. Before I start punching holes in the firewall I wanted to check if I'm leaving anything off.

Unless you're going to use the little slit for the alt-air and heat-box cables you might want another pass-through. I enlarged the little slit and put a 3/4" SS passthrough in that location for that purpose.

Is that to the right of the manifold area?

yes. That little slit just below and to the right of the nutplate. I enlarged that and installed a 3/4 pass-through for the alt-air and heat-box control cables. Full disclosure. Although I have installed the pass-through, I have not yet installed the cables.

You probably want a separate pass-through for the battery cable. Keep power wires away from sensor wires. I didn't want to take a chance on the cable chafing and possibly arcing on the firewall, so I used a marine insulated firewall pass-through terminal.

I did exactly the same thing, though I admit it is the weak point in my firewall. Every other pass-thru is stainless with fire-sleeve, etc. But this one is basically plastic. Don't remember exactly but I think it was rated to something like 350 degrees F. Not very much. I reasoned that the plans call for a snap-bushing so I'm at least better than that. Also, I positioned it as far outboard as I could and directly behind a mount tube so maybe some heat shielding from that. ... It's the one part of my firewall I'm not really happy with.

I assumed the battery/power line came through the 1" Pass through on the right. And the left one was for all other wires...

That will probably work for you, but you will have some other wires coming through on the right one in your picture. For example, mag wires and depending on how you wire things, a wire going back into the cabin to supply cabin-side power. But I think you'll be able to do it all through the 1" pass-thru you have planned.

Good deal, I actually made some solid progress on everything last night. Going to order another 3/4 inch pass-though for alt air/ and heater cables. Also need to order some Stainless Steel pull rivets to attach these passthroughs. Tried to use screws but the backside is really close to some brackets so pull rivets will work best.
