Pic request, shifter hole

Doing a swap from auto to T-5.
Anybody have a photo and measurements of the hole I need to cut in the transmission tunnel and exact placement?
Any help would be appreciated.

Here is how I did it:

Also note that I used a T-56 and from what I hear, the shifter sits back 2", so you should be able to do what I did, and it should measure 2" less. Also not mentioned there is I had to do some "trimming" of that hole because it wasn't completly centered.

Wow, thanks GM!
More than I could have hoped for.
