I remove what was left of the carpet and want to put new carpet in. Where are the carpet guard screws located? I don't recall pulling any screws out when removing the carpet and if i did i would have put them in a baggy and labeled it somehow.

Not the best shot but this is the guard in my 68 when I took out the left screw to pivot it down so I could access the emergency brake cable retension fingers that needed to be compressed to get the cable assembly out.

There is a slot on the panel that the emergency brake cable slides through and then the bottom of this plate is level going left to right in the car.

Thank you for the photo @Custom Jim! That's very helpful. I took mine out at some point and could not remember where it belonged. I think it interfered with how I mounted my DBW throttle assembly and I probably just need to trim it to get it back in.

I don't know if it's yet another one year 68 part or what.

Car's I've owned have been the 68, 73's, 74's, and a 77 and I don't recall that sleeve other than on my 68.

Others might comment and say what is on the 69-72 models (or correct me as sometimes the memory goes to junk).

Assuming you're talking about the highlighted piece below, my '70 has that piece also. I don't think it's unique to '68.

While I don't remember this round rubber boot on any of my 73's and 74's. I looked around a little and this 74 also does not have one:
