To answer some of your questions:
1) The knob on the engine lid latch is screwed onto the end of the release cable. Just turn the knob counter-clockwise and it should unscrew.
2) Seats don't have to be removed before unscrewing the knob.
3) The new SS fuel lines go thru the big center tunnel. Take off the front and rear inspection/cover plates, as well as take out the shift lever to get plenty of access to guide the new lines through the tunnel.
4). As to the tag on the right speaker, don't know the answer. My speakers just unscrewed from the backside of the plastic kick panels.

A couple of details.

* the Dring on your early car was for a tether to a portable footrest. Both probably long gone.

* really important. The back pad removes unintuitively. At the top edge by the glass are zoggle cleats on the back pad that slide into u-brackets mounted to the chassis to hold the back pad in place. To remove the back pad, remove the 4 screws at the bottom of the pad near the floor, and pull the bottom edge away from the back firewall and slide the pad downwards, to disengage the zoggle cleats above. If you try to pull the top edge of the pad you will only destroy the cleats and cause damage to the structural fiber shell of the back pad.

Passenger foot board (dog bone) has a small strap that clips to that to keep it from going too far away.

That is to hold your seatbelt on 70 and 71 cars when not in use

You might be able to remove it by hand. CCW rotation to remove. Otherwise try snap ring pliers with 90 degree angle pins.

Is the hose leading into the oil pressure sender area?

If so...it's a dual pressure sender - one lead to a the idiot light, one to the gauge. This setup will usually cause the light to come on early. The best way is to split off the hose and use the OEM idiot light sender and a single-pole sender for the gauge.
