My problem is the carpet is covering any existing (if any) rear seat belt mounting points. I hate to drill any unnecessary holes in my car if I don't have to.

My questions are:
1) Were rear seat belts an option on early 911's or do all 1970 911's have a total of 4 mounting points for the rear seat belts? If so where are they located?
All 911's had rear seat belt points installed. If you look under the carpet, you will find the threaded holes.

This picture gives you an idea of where they are:

2) Anybody know where the 2 front mounting points for driver and 2 mounting points for passenger seat belts are located? I would assume there must be some type of mounting points on the tunnel where the original seat belt receiver was bolted to but where is it?

3)Where would they be (if any) on the left drivers side between seat and door and the same place on passenger side? Any help is appreciated.
They are part of the seat. You should see a small "ear" on each seat base. You need an extraordinarily short bolt to hook the belts to the seat.

This thread may be helpful: Question for 73 911 owners

This is typical of the four points on the two seats:



I would add that I would think long and hard about using the factory points for the lap belt sections. Starting in 1974, these points were moved off the seat and to a stronger location. Consulting with a local race shop that specializes in early 911's may be worthwhile.
