Question (Probably simple) '86 4runner engine bay fusible link question

Hey guys—

Had a newbie question about the fusible links I need in the engine bay. My '86 4runner (22-RE; 5-speed manual) starts and runs fine, but I'm replacing everything proactively because of evidence of fishy prior electrical work. The truck has what looks like a partially blown or at least corroded Glow-AM1 80A fusible link, which I'm going to replace (I looked up how to replace that; don't worry—I won't rip it apart). I also replaced both AM2s, but I don't have an AM1 60A (4crawler fuse cover, for reference) in there at all.

Do I need that AM1 60A? My truck is gas, but I apparently need that other glow fusible link, so I don't want to assume that I don't need the second one. My aftermarket manual won't tell me, and I can only find photos of the fuse cover online, not the open box, so I have no reference.

A picture paints a thousand words.

Do I need that AM1 60A?
No, that's for a diesel truck.

... that other glow fusible link
What other glow fusible link? There's only one "glow fusible link" on 4crawlers picture that you posted.

Yes, this is a simple question, but only if you put us right in front of that engine compartment. Why don't you post a picture of what you are looking with arrows that point exactly to what you're talking about?

Sorry! I repeated myself incorrectly. I only meant the AM1 60A. You answered my question in record time.

(I would have posted a photo, but it's raining cats and dogs outside. That's why I went with 4crawler's.)
