Re: Where is the default location for new packages installed?

If you're talking about the package archives, then fire up "man pacman" and look for cachedir. If you want to know how to clean them, look up the --clean switch in the pacman manpage.

If you're talking about actually installed packages, see "man file-hierarchy" and the pacman manual.
