All of the IR camera to i2c and clock connections are shown in the Stephen Hobley schematic (check out the previous steps.) http://stephenhobley.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/wiicam_schem.gif

You'll need to connect the arduino to the i2c chip, (also shown in the schematics) and connect the servo to the arduino (I have mine on pin 9, just like in the arduino servo example.)

The arduino chip requires +5 volts and the camera requires +3.3 volts. I had a multiple output power supply, so I gave each part of the circuit what it needed. If you only have a +5v power supply you could add a 3.3 volt voltage regulator to drive the camera.
