Strange '74 Blower Relay
So... working on a customers '74 in my shop that has been sitting for years. This is a NON-AC car... just a simple heater box. The relay is not the standard metal relay that screws to the box/firewall. This one has a nice plastic socket & must have had a plastic case on the relay. Now gone & relay is all smashed up so not really usable. Wiring appears to be factory in that area but this is a diff one for me. Anyone seen this? The local part houses & the big corvette part vendors all want to sell the old style steel cased relay. Oh...& the pin is opposite position on the single blade side from all the photos I've looked at for the metal relay...
TIA!
TIA!

The fan/blower relay is indeed down lower and to the right. Pete's pic shows it as well.
Here is the fan relay (this one for A/C).

That seat belt relay might be bypassed already, if so then you don't need it and if not bypassed here's how:
