S10 tranny behind a 350

I'm restoring an 85' Trans Am. It used to have a T5 behind a 305, but I was given the car with no engine or transmission. I picked up a 350 from my uncle who just so happened to have one laying around, and I need to know if a T5 out of an S10 will bolt up. I did a lot of research and I think it will swap with just a bell housing swap. I've attached a picture of the transmission. Note: I do not plan to be racing this car or driving it too hard, and I'm on a budget, which is why I'm opting for a T5 instead of a T56 or Muncie 4 speed.

No S10 T5 bolts to a small block with just a bellhousing change.

Input length,
Input spline count,
Fairly easy speedometer setup,
Bellhousing bolt pattern,
Shifter location,
Torque arm hook-up,
Trans. mount location
are all matched by buying an 84-92 V8 F-body T5.
If it's not one of those, and you don't know how to change those things, then just buy what fits.
