filter location When I did the LT1 conversion to my 67 Chevelle I was able to tuck the filter into the fender cavity behind the headlight. It kept it dry and safe from road debris. It looks like you have more fender cavity room in your 72 so it should work for you too.
I later built an enclosure to seal it off from the engine compartment heat so it only pulled air from behind the headlights. This was a noticeable improvement in power when the car was fully heat soaked from driving.

Hide the ODBII port
VCM placement I am making a plate to cover this and hold my trans temp gauge.

well I have the B&M super cooler the biggest one they have
Ext. Oil Filter mount with two 1/8 NPT fitting for temp gauge sensor
-6 lines that run from the trans to filter and cooler
Like New B&M hammer shifter
trans as a core with stock converter
The 3000 stall TCI converter if it is still good
Autometer trans temp gauge.. that all I can think of right now..

Verdad Gallardo The T56 is what I wanted in the first place but I got the trans from a friend that was going to a manual so i got a good deal on it...I think.
I had fun with the Auto while it lasted..

Well here are a few pictures of the T56 install.
here is the chevelle on the lift next to the other project.. it is a 1969 chevy C/10 that is getting a 2001 chevy 1500 5.3.4L60E setup.. it will have the dash cluster from the 01 and steering colum.
