Interior parts - correct placement? (pictures)

So I'm looking to get some things in my interior put back together and in place where they belong, but I've got some questions.

First, do you guys have screws on the front bottom of your door panels? My passenger side did but there are no holes in my driver side panel. I believe this had a self tapping screw that went into a pilot hole in the sheet metal.


Where does this piece go? Does it share screws/bolts/nuts with anything else?


Driver or passenger side kick panel?


So this belongs on the opposite kick panel.


Under driver dash, utilizing bolts already down there? Held on with nuts iirc?


What cover goes under the passenger side dash?


There's a white/yellowed box thing against the firewall that's not mounted - what is it and what does it mount to? I didn't unhook it without hooking it back up when I removed the brake booster, did I?



Somehow I hit something on the keyboard and Firefox removed this edit form but the rest of the page was still there. No idea what I did but I did manage to "preview", get a message that the message needs to be at least 2 characters, pressed the back button, and got my text back. Glad I didn't have to re-type this again, image tags and all... buggy web browsers.

OMG I know these dash parts too well!
 
 
Picture #1 Door panel - Yes there is supposed to be a self tapping screw run through a hole drilled into the door. I have found out this location varies slightly depending on original assembly.
 
Picture #2 - That is definitely the plastic trim piece that goes under the RH dash beneath the glove box lid. The circle cutout is for the courtesy lamp under the dash. The right angled plastic end comes down to meet the back edge of the dash center stack to finished it off so you see nothing behind there.
 
Pictures #3 & 4 is the sound deadening material that goes behind the front kick panels.
 
Picture #5 - The panel goes under the driver's side and is attached by two of the steering column nuts. The slot on the far left screws into a clip on the left side of the fuse panel. The front edge is held in place by a screw fastened to the right side of the dash frame next to the dash center stack.
 
Picture #6 -What goes under the dash here? See picture #2 ;)
 
Picture #7 - That is the cruise control module. It fastens with a nut to the left top brake booster stud that comes through the firewall and pedal bracket.
