I don't have any pics. The relay normally mounts, can upward, to the firewall or the flange on the firewall more or less above the steering column. You may find holes or dimples in the body metal if you look closely. You should be able to find pics in the shop manual or the parts manual.

In the case of the lockout switch, the usual practice is to simply join its connectors together with a screw, and tape up the joint well. Then put an oil-tight cover over the mounting hole. You don't need a toggle switch. Overdrive is mechanically locked out when reverse is selected, anyway. Now some people DO use a toggle switch instead of the governor to control the overdrive, but I won't recommend that.

You do need a kickdown switch attached to the throttle linkage; there should be a place for it visible.

Hope this helps.
