Default 5 speed swap almost done just a few ?????s

1) can anyone tell me exactly where the clutch cable routes through?
2) how exactly do i fix the neutral safety switch or bypass it? and if there are more wires needing rerouted?
3) i was told to get a 5 speed computer but i heard it wont start with the computer bc it needs codes burned into it.??? i got the computer in but should i just put my auto one back in

The code is in the cluster, so don't fret over changing the ECU.

The PATS code for the coded keys, it's stored in the gauge cluster. You can swap out EVERYTHING on the car and not have to get it reprogrammed unless you swap out the cluster.

Basically, don;t worry about question #3, you are absolutely fine changing the computer to a 5-spd ecu and you won't have to get it reprogrammed. At the ABSOLUTE MOST, you may have to go to the dealer to reflash the strategy, and that's only if you start getting a bunch of emissions codes. it will still start and run though.
