I guess so, provided, you are using GNAT GPL 2010.

Should be .../include/win32ada/

But that depends on the win32ada.gpr file. If you want to know for sure
where are the specifications, you look into this file. The file must be
located under .../lib/gnat, because that is the default directory where
GNAT searches for gpr-files (others are form the ADA_PROJECT_PATH
environment variable). Now in that file you will see the path to sources,
e.g. 

project Win32Ada is
   for Languages use ("ada");
   for Source_Dirs use ("../../include/win32ada");
   for Library_Dir use "../../lib/win32ada";
   for Library_Name use "win32ada";
   for Externally_Built use "true";
end Win32Ada;

So the source directory is

.../lib/gnat/../../include/win32ada = ../include/win32ada
