Default Running new gauge wires

Are there any ideal existing locations to run wires(14-16awg) through the firewall from the dash to the engine bay without cutting or drilling?

I ran my amp power cable thru the existing hole that the main harness goes thru on the driver's side. It was a tight fit but a much bigger have than what your trying so that should work. Otherwise my tach signal wire goes thru a spare hole by the clutch cable I believe. My cars in storage so I can't check right now, but this is what my failing memory is saying lol.

The rubber boot/grommet for the hood latch cable is another good place to run wires through the firewall.
