Snake,
If sounds like the wires your describing are for the headlights and park lights. In your box with all the wiring and lights and switches you'll find one toggle switch that has three positions. That is the headlight switch. Position one is off, position two is park lights, position three is headlights. Use an ohm meter to check continuity if you can't figure out which pole does what, but if memory serves me, the book has a diagram in it showing this.
My Chevette steering column only works the wipers and hi/lo beam. You need to use the dash mounted toggle switch.
For your proportioning valve, there is a blue wire and a black wire. Not sure of the numbers, would have to check my own manual. These two wires simply plug into the proportioning valve. It'll be up to you to find the proper connectors. I don't even remember what I used.
OOOHHHH for the body. Mine didn't line up perfectly either. Here's what I did. ARE YOU READY! Make sure the seats are out of the car. Climb in the car only lay on your back with your head under the dash, legs draped up and over the back of the car. Have your friend hand you a chainsaw file and set a 12 pack of beer next to you. BEGIN filing the holes in the direction they need to be. Should only take a few days. Then when you thinks your close, the body shop you take it too for final paint and alignment will take a plasma cutter and gouge the holes to fit. Oh well. It's all part of building the car. You are at the part where I lost most of my motivation. Just keep at it and it will all be done before you know it.
Good Luck.
