Most standard relays are rated for 30/40 amps.  Those will work fine, since the application will not need anything near that to work.  Even a mini-relay would work, and they are rated for something like 10/15 amps.  With either relay, when you connect your "86" to ignition power, I would recommend fusing it around 5 amps (relays can "throw" with less than a couple hundred milli-amps) in order to protect the ignition circuit---you're better safe than sorry.  If something were to ever come lose and ground out, you would be a lot better off temporarily losing the ability to bypass your clutch than blowing a Maxi-fuse under the hood and losing the functionality of pretty much everything.
