Neither of these parts are hard to replace, just take your time doing it.
The instuctions I had for the servo I believe said to leave the pin in place, but even with pushing the trans over as far as possible I did not have enough clearance to get the servo over the top of the pin, so I believe I removed it first.
The boost valve is located in the pump right at the front of the pan area. If your instructions have a picture you will recognize it when you see it. You will need a long thin nosed internal snap ring pliers since the snap ring sits pretty far in the bore.
