It would probably be easier to disable the voltage to the distributor. It's a pink wire that connects between the ignition switch and the distributor cap.

Distributor cut off is a good Idea.

Better make that a 30 amp switch.

That's a good size wire, like 10 gauge.

Need to get the service manual for your year Corvette for the details, but a switch in the fuel pump relay circuit will not require a large wire or switch contacts due to high current.

Just break the signal wire to the fuel pump relay.

Yours should be close to this on and just take ur pick on where to add a kill switch and you wont have to run anything from the engine bay. Theirs enough right there.
