Drop the windage tray and use the lower drain plug on the radiator.

No, they go through the firewall on opposite sides, iirc. Find the FSM wiring diagrams for both years and you can probably wire around it. I would switch the carb, intake and harness to match the year of the body, then you won't have to deal with wiring issues.
