    That'll do. You'll also need some female, crimp-on, spade connectors (insulated), and the appropriate crimping tool. Just label the wires from the original fusebox (one pair per circuit), clip them off, and crimp on the spade connectors. After that's done you connect the wires to the new fusebox, paying attention to which wires pair up, and which amperage fuse is for that circuit. Many people (myself included) also shrink-wrap the gap that is left between the spade connector's insulation, and the insulation for the wire (the gap around the circumference, you want the insulation for the connector to overlap that of the wire).
    I also bought some clear, stick-on, labels for my printer and made a circuit label that I stuck to the inside of the fusebox cover.

    Here' a decent how-to on installing crimped terminals https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/working-with-wire/how-to-crimp-an-electrical-connector

    If you get it from XJ4Ever you will get everything you need plus instructions. This is the way I went and had no issues at all.
