I've got the Owner's Workshop manual on my lap..
Put succinctly, everything behind the pilots is either Fuel Tank or Engine. Except for the wingtips which hinge upwards to allow easy access to the nacelles. The chines are filled with sensors (Or weapons in the YF-12), with a radar in the nose. And that's it.
On the one hand, it's quite simple. On the other, hideously complex.
If you weren't worried about range or had good air-to-air refuelling, the 1 , 2 and 3 fuel tanks might be convertible into living space enough to sit in. But that would make it very tail-heavy when full of fuel.
