I think I'll be OK and feel better hearing it from another person here, and I think I read you have done a remote start before. This is my first! I'm not actually going to be doing the start right away, just the keyless functions as I still need to purchase an immobilizer bypass.
Thanks for the insight and help!!

You're correct, as long as the circuits you are tapping in to are the feeds for the same circuit as would be used during a normal start, you won't really be drawing any additional current from the circuits during a remote start, so you should be fine. Make sure though on the high current connections that you have a very good connection. No cheesy little "add a circuit" connections here.
I've done a few remote start installs before for family and friends. They are getting more difficult with modern cars, but still often not worth what the "professionals" charge for the work. Especially since I've seen how some "professionals" make the connections. Don't get me wrong, there are some pros that take pride in their work, but far too many that don't.
