Make sure the hole will allow for the stiffness of the cable routing. I know you said Lokar shifter and that you have already bought it.

But:

Here is something for others to consider when doing this in the future.

Buy a nice S10 floor shifter for the 700R4 and mount it. This is what I did in my 71. It now has a 4L80E hooked into it. The pictures where when I was mocking it up and the toggle switch was for the 700R4 lock up. The 4L80E doesn't need it.
The other thing is it has the neutral safety switch and a brake solenoid and back up switch also if you want it hooked up all in the gear shifter.
I use the solenoid for a anti theft, I hooked it up with a hidden switch I can cut off and they may crank it but it want go in gear no matter what they do.
