From the radios I have had in the past that contained swing kits, The resistor is usually installed on the solder side in the left or right corner of the back of the radio. You can detect it sometimes cause it will stick out like a sore thumb.

If you find the resistor Hotwire mentioned. It should be on the solder side of the board in front of the final. The resistor will be soldered to the legs of a cap on the other side (component side). Remove the resistor and replace the cap with a jumper. This is how the radio was stock.
