Clutch master cylinder location for T5 swap?

This hole is already in my firewall and I just want to make sure that this is where the master cylinder would go. Thanks all.

That's the hole for the cruise control wiring/vacuum hoses.

I'm pretty sure if you bolt the brake/clutch pedals into the car, the support brackets will swing down to the firewall and show you exactly where you want to put the mounting bolt holes. Then you can make a template and drill the holes. It doesn't seem to be all that big a deal how exact the holes are located.

You're great man. This just answers my question and concern where those damn holes exactly need to be drilled. Thank you.

I wonder if the brackets show where on the firewall the holes need to be then what's the use of the template? You could put a mark through the bracket holes and then drill?
