Default rear view mirror installation

Looking for some installation instructions ('72 c3 convertible) for rear view mirror with map light. It was a dealer option in'72. Bought one off ebay but no instructions for how to locate/run wiring from center of windshield to fuse box. All help appreciated. Thanks!

The assembly manual is your friend, but failing that - I'd just run a wire up the windshield plastic then down the driver's side a-pillar to the fusebox.
