I'm not sure I understand the question. If you're looking to hook fans up to an old power supply and run the cooler that way, you can just jump out the P1 connector and use the molex connectors.

Hmm would I be able to tap into the wire's and splice them on? Or would that not work?

So the PSU is a desktop PSU? IF so hook the P1 together and hook the fans up to the Molex plugs. That should be good to go

Molex plugs are the old drive conectors on the PSU. Got replaced by SATA . All PSU's should have at least 1 Molex
