I can't help you out with the wiring aspect of your furnace blower, but I can refer back to some help I offered earlier this year to a new grower that was thinking of doing the same thing you are. Just a quick point though,,,have you any idea how much air a furnace blower moves? It will surely keep your lights cool, but will also most likely blow over or suck your plants right out of the room.  Maybe that is a bit of an exaggeration, but you have to think about the purpose of it originally. It is designed to properly and efficiently circulate the total volume of air in a complete house and not just a grow room, depending on the size of your room. Before you get it installed, turn it on and it knocks all your plants over, leave it on the floor in the open and turn it on while standing in front of it. I think you might change your mind about putting it in your room. Mind you, you won't have any problems with heat build up at all.
