Where the accelerator cable comes through the bulkhead, there will be another cable with it. It runs down the left hand side of the engine, across the front (usually clipped to the top radiator pipe) and ends on the far right at a diaphragm/bellows next to the power steering fluid reservoir. That's the bulk of the system - remember to plug any vacuum lines if you remove it. There are also switches inside, one to the right of the steering wheel, two on the wheel. The cruise ecu lives up above the pedals on the drivers side. Silver box.

Yeah man, if you're going for the full removal.

There is a brief bit in my project build where I remove the cruise control actuator (part way down the post):
