Battery killswitch mounting... Tried doing a search for setups, I'm pretty sure I've seen a killswitch thread before... Anyways couldn't find one, so post up pics of your kill switch mounting location and setup.
Also on a question of legality, NHRA states that you must have a bulkhead or divider between the driver and battery, would the stock rear panel (spare tire are) count as a "divider"

nhra states that it must be a toggle or push/pull switch on the back of the vehicle.
and it must be metal! no plastic handles allowed.
i have seen them mounted right in the center of taillight panel (next to the lock) and i have seen them mount the switch inside the car and then run the push/pull rod out the back through the bumper. ?? it's all in what looks good to you?
if your moving the battery to the back, just get a battery box! this is your mounting and your bulkhead. the battery just has to be sealed from spraying acid all over in a crash. but i would use a optima (gell cell) anyways.

I'm in the same delima for switch mounting and trying to find ideas. I'm going to either mount mine to the right of the 'camaro' text on the tail panel (paint switch handle black - I have a rotary type switch - so its less noticeable against the black tailpanel), or mount it behind the license plate and remove the plate and install the handle to the switch when I'm at the track - and remove the switch **** when the plate goes back on. The tag won't sit completely flat, but with longer screws and 1/2" spacers no the tag screws it won't look too bad. Mines primarily a street car and I don't wanna have big obvious cues that theres more to it than that.
