Default wire tuck supplies and info please help

i am doing a complete wire tuck in my 94 gsr. i am relocating my fuse box under the dash and my battery to the trunk. i want to use plastic conduit for the headlights harness. i want to use raychem shrink tubing for the harness under the hood. does my list look correct i do not want to buy not enough or too much. also how big of a hole do you guys make to run the wires from the engine bay to the cabin. also where is the best place to buy these things? much thanks in advance.
-16 guage wire different colors-how much footage should i get? is 16 good enough for all of the wires
-plastic conduit 3/4 1/2 3/8 and 1/4-does that cover it? how much footage?
-3m electrical tape
-soider
-raychem heatshrink tubing-what size do i need? how much footage?
-2 gauge wire for battery- bought off jegs
-batt. relocation kit-bought off jegs
is there anything else i need. i want it to look professional almost like a rywire.

Frys, I think wirecare.com was one also.

Ive got no clue how much you need or what size. Also, I dont know if either with have raychem.

Isn't there a huge thread that goes over all things needed for wire tucks?

I wouldn't move the battery to the trunk, you lose a ton of power through the wires resistance.

all i can say is measure it bra or search for a thread covering it and i would leave battery in front for a few reasons,like wht mind bomber said,also thts more wait over the tires(better traction and less wheel hop,every little bit counts) just get a aftermarket battery holder like AEM or SKUNK 2 and itll look clean
