assuming this is for your 89, you can actually use a pedal assembly from a 4th gen and they bolt up without modification. Or, you can use a 3rd gen if you can find one. The only thing you will want to do is wire up a cluthc start switch so you don't start the car in gear. Other than that, everything is very simple. You can leave the shift lock cables under the carpet or do whatever you want with them. You will obviously have to remove your boost to install the hydraulic clutch assembly. This needs to be near perfect since you don't want the clutch master cylinder to be at an agle with the clutch pedal. This was the hardest part of my swap.

When I did my swap it helped for me to drop the steering column. There is no drilling required to just install the pedals for a 5 speed. For me it was the worst part of the whole T-5 swap was to install the pedals and install the master cylinder.
