You are right about how the kickdown works. You should be able to get a rod at a junk yard but it needs to be the right length so, I would think, you would need one off another 460 or maybe a diesel. Another way to go is to use a cable. If you don`t mind manually downshifting for passing you could just leave it disconnected.
The vacuum is important, it controls the shift points. You need the vacuum pipe from the modulator connected to full manifold vacuum (same as brake booster). The stock setup is as you describe, rubber pipe from modulator to steel pipe running up the back of the engine and then a rubber pipe to manifold vacuum.
there are different modulators (different color stripe on them) but I wouldn`t worry about that.
Hopefully other opinions will follow.
