You should mount the new audio output transformer in the same place as the original was mounted. See, you will not be storing your radio in a barn or in any rodent-infested areas, so the new one should be just fine if it is installed where the original was. It is best to locate parts where they were originally to avoid problems.
I see you bought a vertical mounting power transformer to replace your original - a 270DAZ (horizontal mounting, like the original) would have been a better choice, but you can still use the 270DAX. You may have to modify the hole somewhat to permit the wires to pass through. You do not want the wires rubbing against the chassis!
Both transformers should have a paper showing which wires are for what winding. Study these carefully. If for some reason you do not have these diagrams, you can see diagrams for both on the Radio Daze website.
