I did enough research to avoid most of the issues, but I did come across a couple small issues. Had to fab up some bolts for the tranny, as the flange was thicker then the auto tranny. Being a long weekend in a small town means fasteners aren't always easy to get. Also had to fab up a "piston" for the master slave as the one purchased wasn't compatible with the transmission.
The pedal set I purchased had 40 years of wear and as you can see as pictured the slot use to be a circular hole for a pin. I had it welded up, and redrilled it. Forming the clutch line was no problem as I've gotten pretty good at it after making the brake lines.
Happy so far, I was a little worried about highway RPM as the manual cars came with a higher geared rear end, but it sits about 200rpm lower at 100/h and better acceleration to boot!
