The wires in the first pic is a starter harness. You don't need to hook that up until the engine is in the car and your hooking up the starter.
If you want power, just take the wire dangling from the fuse box in the second pic and connect it to the positive terminal on your battery. The negative terminal on the battery needs to be grounded to the fire wall.
note, if not connecting the starter don't connect the first harness. It will leave the other end of the harness hot and can short if it touches the frame.
