If you are using a thermoswitch, you DO NOT want to have a manual override switch for any reason other than wank factor.
Can i ask WHY you want a manual switch?
The thermoswitch (automatically switches at a set temperature) is located in your thermostat hosuing on top of the gearbox in an AE82. All the stock wiring should be there and function perfectly without your interference. If the thermoswitch is buggerised, go down to pick n payless or your local self serve wreckers and pinch a couple from just about ANY FWD toyota and it will work just fiiiiiiiine.
You will need a 17mm spanner - that is all.

i had my subaru 4wd thermos on a switch and when i hit the beach it was good to have the thermos on befor it started to heat up, now with the rolla when i hit the hills i wanted the same thing, plus since ive had the car they have never come but i might have to go vist u pull it for a new thermoswitch.

remember - a thermofan or any fan for that matter is COMPLETELY USELESS at any speed above 25-30kph. In fact rolling along at 40kph will be far better cooling

Just dont drive around in the city  Keep it to the hills, where you should be going very fast providing lots of airflow.
