Neutral Safety Switch location?

Hey guys, super simple and ridiculous question, but where is the Neutral Safety Switch on a 1985 Firebird?

I've got the entire console, shift boot, and AC/Radio housing dissembled but still do not see it. Maybe I'm blind. Although I did find a plug that was disconnected with a large yellow, purple, and smaller green, blue, orange/black, and black/white wires. This wouldn't have anything to do with it, would it?

Any other hints as to where it is?

It is the large yellow & purple wires, the P/N switch connects them together when in park or neutral.
