Whilst the loom is off the car, maybe sticky labels on each end to remind you what goes where.
Helpful if they are left on where you can't see them - behind the dashboard, for example - so that a year or two from now you will find it easier to fault find, if required.
Particularly applicable to the non-loom, additional wires.
Think about proper earth returns - I have good quality earth wires from the battery to distribution points at the front and rear of the car. Try not to rely on the bodywork to do the job for you. I believe LEDs can be finicky about supply quality, so proper earths are a must if that is true.
If 6 volt system, use thicker wires to reduce the losses of your precious volts.
As Rekkers said - patience. Which includes undoing it and re-routing if it gets messy looking, puts strain on the wires, or whatever.
Take care no wire can get pinched or chafed - just this week I came to a grinding halt in a cloud of smoke as my main power feed to everything except the starter got pinched between the floor and the gearbox.
