To go along with Leeedy's comments here is a photo of the left inner fender showing the PB shift electrical components minus the silver colored 4 terminal auto park relay. The car you are working on is a very early car so depending on whether or not a factory mod was done to remove it, the car may have an additional black 3 terminal relay which would mount to and be immediately below the circuit breaker.

The clamp and rubber insert over the vent tube for the PS hoses is shown. There is another clamp with rubber insert for the hoses which bolts to the frame side and holds the hoses as they drop vertically just before the hose loop which enters the control valve.

As for the two prong brake switch, the car probably has the 3 terminal conversion kit installed and the relay which the 2 prong switch operates may be somewhere hidden in the bunched up wiring.

This car has factory air and obviously a few modifications such as the electric wiper motor and power door lock relay (mounted next to the window relay & CB) so don't pay attention to those.
