Can the pink wire from the sniper run to the coil wire since the coil is no longer used? Should be a switched 12v, right?

Got thr last parts in from PowderKeg. Once all of the proper plugs were in place the idle landed in the right spot. It's a good place to leave it for a few days while I hit the road to deliver one and pick up another. Engine bay looks awesome...
