Needing a couple of tools....
I started on a 77 Nishiki Custom Sport restoration, but need a couple of tools. I need one to remove the bottom bracket, and another to remove the freewheel. If I can get pointed in the right direction, I would GREATLY appreciate it!

Park FR-2 for the freewheel.
I think the Park HCW-5 is what you want for the bottom bracket.

you need a suntour 2 prong freewheel remover, a bottom bracket lockring wrench and it looks to me that you will also need forged flat 16mm wrench for the bottom bracket cup for the left side and maybe a 36mm flat wrench for the right side, and take note that the right side is a left handed thread so that means that righty losey and lefty tighty.

A better BB pic would have the spindle nut removed.
A pic of the BB DS would also be useful.
IT appears the "rectangular" part of the adjustable cup is lower than the surrounding area. Typically, it is raised and the Park HCW-4 would be used.

There are a couple of different pronged freewheel removers, but they are all similar.
The Park FR-2 should work.
ALWAYS TIGHTEN DOWN THE AXLE/QR ONTO YOUR TOOL WHEN USING THE 2-PRONGED FREEWHEEL REMOVERS, then slowly release once you get it turning.
For your Bottom bracket, find a 3-pronged bottom bracket tool as suggested by dr_lha

Correct! 
No, the Park HCW-11 is what is needed:

For removing the freewheel, chuck the tool in a vise and turn the wheel (the correct direction). The adjustable cup will probably come right out with a big adjustable wrench once you pull the lockring. Fixed cup - not so much. I usually stack washers and bolt the tool to the cups to make sure whichever wrench I'm using stays in place.

Once you get the tools be sure to look up how to use them. You must clamp on the Suntour type freewheel tool, and back it off once freewheel is broken free, and it's almost always necessary to find a way to clamp the fixed cup tool so it does not slip off.

There's no need to remove the fixed cup unless it is damaged beyond redemption and you need to replace the whole bottom bracket.
