oil change question on a 1996 flht

A friend recently purchased a 1996 flht and asked if I would show him how to do an oil change on the bike. Well I know where the drain is on my 1985 flhtc with side oil bag and where the drain is on my 2002 Twin cam but I have not worked on a 1996 before. Does the 1996 have the oil tank under the transmission like the 2002? Is the oil drain plug in the same location as the 2002? What about the transmission oil drain plug?

Oil tank under trans...probably not much different than your 2002. One drain on front of trans ...one mighty close to the exhaust.
