Default Neutral Safety Switch

This is for a 1981 automatic, I have done a lot of modifications to motor,and just finished with all brakes and rotors and new wheels,I haven’t had this car cranked in 7 months,I had it cranked just before I started tearing the interior out to redo,new carpet,seats and so forth,I removed the neutral safety switch at that point,not sure why,other than,I didn’t know what it was at that point,but,it seems like if I remembered correctly I also had a little short pin.maybe the size of penci lead that went in tiny hole,does this make cents.oh,and the ccc has been removed,so new carburetor and distributor.

Look at the left side of the mechanism. There is the small black pin....the safety switch fits onto the pin.
The slider in the safety switch is moved by the pin/
