A closer address is 5286 Whiskey Rd, Aiken, SC.
Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it just behind where the projection booth use to be.
The 1971 aerial shows the screen is gone. As the same photo shows a shadow cast from the still standing projector booth, but none from the line where the screen used to be standing.
Despite the screen being gone, the properly looked remarkably well kept in 1971. Today, it is totally overgrown with trees and no trace of the drive-in remains.

A 1971 aerial view shows the theater but I cannot confirm any evidence if the screen was standing or not. It was already gone by 1981, leaving the projection booth for at least another several years.

The above address will map accurately to the location of the drive-in, which is still clearly visible in aerial photos from 1971.
It took the reporter from the Aiken Standard to find this Drive-in,I had no idea New Ellington ever had a Drive-in.Would love to find some old ads.
