On a 74 the cable runs up the left side of the console, you have to remove the bulkhead cover and the console main section (where the shifter is) You do not have to remove the front console where the gauges are, but you do have to remove the "kick panel" on the left side. I believe it is probably easier to do this w/ the driver side seat removed. This is 4 bolts.
Good luck
