S197 Mustang Wiring Help???

I posted this on one of the Mustang boards, with no answer yet. I'll try here because there's a big knowledge base with class racers: I’m contemplating a simple carbureted big block swap in a 2005-2009 Mustang (S197). The idea here is to build a street-strip car that sort of looks like a Cobra Jet. What I’d like to do though is to strip out all of the factory wiring and install something like this from Racewire Solutions (great folks by the way):

The wiring panel is easy enough (Racewire Solutions will build what I want) but at the same time, I’d really like to retain some of the original Mustang switches to turn various circuits on and off.

• Ignition/start switch
• Headlamps & high-low beam switch
• Turn signals & hazard
• Foglamps
• Brake light
• Power windows
• Windshield wiper
• Horn

So the question is, can anyone tell me (positively) if the switches on my list will function normally without being hooked to various chassis/body control modules in the car (I'm pretty sure stuff like the horn and some of the lights won't be too problematic...but with today's technology, who knows...L-O-L)?

Thanks!
