These questions are regarding my 7.3l idi diesel swap into my '75 F100.

1. Can I run the injector pump shut off solenoid wires that come directly from the pump (+/- ??) to a toggle?
EDIT: I just looked at it again. There are two wires, though they are ran to the same place. Is it just a power wire? Do I have to regulate the volts going to it?
I really don't want to burn it up.

2. I am converting the front 5lug d44 to 8lug. Are the TRE's for the 8lug knuckles the same as the 5lug? What about the Chevy stuff?

3. I am using the '84 t19 transmission from the donor truck as well. It had something plugged into the side of it when I pulled it.. What was it? And do I need it?

4. I want to plumb the A/C compressor for OBA. There are two wires coming out of it, +/-? Which I assume engage the compressor? Can I just run it to a toggle?

I have more questions but they aren't coming to me at the moment.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

No issues running the fuel cutoff on a toggle, it just uses 12V+, nothing fancy about it.
The high idle and advance solenoid run through a temp switch which is mounted on the engine, If you follow all three wires back, IIRC, they all get power from the same source in the engine harness, so, one wire will power the whole circuit as designed.

As for the T19, the plug on the side is the backup light switch.
