-I'd suggest not running the power wire next to the ECU. I ran mine along the transmission tunnel on the passenger side and made a new hole to the left of the AC hardlines. Be careful though if keeping the AC... There's some stuff there that you don't want to drill through.
-100amp is too low and circuit breakers are not always reliable. I use a 200 amp ANL fuse but 150 should be fine.
-Mounting the battery on the passenger side shelf is tough on a S14... especially if the emissions stuff is still there. I found I couldn't use a full size optima with my Taylor box in this location without some fab work so I put it towards the front of where the spare tire goes. I leveled this area with 8lb density expanding foam and put a piece of sheet metal on top of that. It's better to have the battery low and centered anyway.
-For battery terminals, try to get ones that are covered.
-I'd suggest not using the Lowe's cable. It's simply too stiff. I use Temco Easy-Flex 0 gauge welding cable and it works great. Techflex braided loom is great too.
-When making the cables, it's good to get a hammer crimper to crimp and solder with silver bearing electrical solder and a propane torch to get a good connection, prevent corrosion inside the lug, and to be sure nothing will come apart. Make sure you clean the inside of the lug and wires with steel wool and use flux on both before crimping/solder.
Will post pics of my setup soon.
