Carpet install

The reinforcement plates that cover the seat belts on the door side they do go above the carpet? I've seen some that are not visible. The assembly manual is really not clear on this

The carpet covers the reinforcements. What happened to the original carpets, car didn't come with them?

Guess I'm wrong on this one. On my 69 the similar part is under the carpet. Does the lap belt have a retractor?

Yes, and the plastic plate kept the debris and other things out of the way.

Use the plastic cover as a guide to cut your carpet Croaker, cut about 1" inside the outer lip and leave none on the side.
