Yes, add the safety wire or heavy fishing line to the shackles! Rope/chain combinations will normally have two shackles.
If you are handling the anchor(s) by hand and not using a windless, be careful you don't cut yourself using wire. That's why on my second/back/emergency anchor I use heavy fishing line and redo it every year.
My main anchor is a factory all chain and anchor and they use a special shackle system not the standard shackle. Mine needs special tools to remove, not just pliers or a nail to undo it.
