I can't help on the neutral safety or backup, as my experience is exclusively with manuals.

The turn signal and hazard is it's own connector, and you'd be leaving that alone.

The ignition switch will be removed in its entirety, and its wires extended to your new switches. If you unplug the ignition switch, you're left with two plastic connectors. Each connector has a handful of Packard 56 female terminals inside. Unpin those connectors, and plug each terminal into a new male packard 56. This allows you to extend the wires to the new switches without trying to solder and heat-shrink wires under the dash.

Look for Hatzie's signature to find links to wiring manuals that he's digitized. Study those to determine what wires go where.
