Unless you bought the entire harness/relay kit from a donor car you will be better off just making the switches ground switch your new relays.

The purple and blue pin 30s will go to the 2 wires going to the factory actuators. Polarity only matters that both actuators are wired the same way so they react the same way.
The green and blue alarm lock/unlock (-) inputs (labeled as outputs in the photo) will go to your switches. There should be 3 pins on the switches. One Common pin and 2 normally open pins. Pretty easy to figure out which terminal does what after that. As long as you fuse the 12v line going to the relays you cant mess this up. For factory actuators of this vintage you will need either a 15a or 20a fuse. Start smaller and if it blows go up to a maximum of 20a If the opposite action happens from the button you pressed simply swap the inputs to the relays or swap the polarity at the actuators. Which ever is easier.

To clarify the above info is if you do NOT use any of the factory wiring save for a few inches at the switches and at the actuators. Nothing else should be attached to this circuit.

Ok thanks a little assurance goes a long way, but now if I install a keyless entry would it just go to either terminal 85 and 86 or do I need separate relays?

If the keyless unit puts out -ve then yes. You will just use that to trigger the same relays in place of the switch. Any -ve input will work be it from the switches or a keyless unit.

Ok thanks I've been over thinking it, it took me longer to run the wires from the relay center to the doors than anything, I was thinking I needed either resistors or diodes in the circuit but I don't think it applies to the door lock actuators, correct me if I'm wrong please!!
