Hi h,
It's mounted to the rear of the driver's side apron just below the hood surround.
Regards,
Alan

Hi JB,
Yes, the vacuum storage tank is there.
It's difficult to see because it's dark under the hood surround.
You can JUST see the corner of it.
Regards,
Alan

Hi 73TV,
I believe the horn relay is in the same location for the 73 model year.
Member Tooch1 will know for sure.
Regards,
Alan

I just took a look at the 73 AIM and it appears the horn relay is in the same location as 68-72 cars.

Alan is correct. This is the relay on my 73.

That bolt or stud that hold the relay on is a bear to get loose
The wires aren't to bad but that stud is close to impossible!
