Just because the car is on stands, doesn't mean the suspension cant be "loaded". It depends on where you place the stands.

When I welded mine in. I ran the front of the car up on ramps, then jacked the rear up and set it on stands, with the stands place under the rear end housing. This way the car is up in the air and you can work under it, but it is setting on the suspension, just as if it were sitting on the ground.
Hope that helps a little. I think some people are thinking that "on stands" means you have them placed under the unibody, with the suspension hanging.

I used the bolt in style but welded them right off the bat. I didn't want to cut through the floor. I just wanted to stiffen it up, I don't plan on any wheelstands.

As for the emergency brake cable, drill a large hole through the connector on each side but at an angle and weld a pipe in the hole. Mount the connector, then slide the cable through the pipe and reassemble the brake. It worked for me 30 years ago.

That's what I did on mine, looks exactly like how yours is done.

I did this too. I used Comp Engineering connectors and welded them in. I've often thought that I could use steel flatbar stock and scribe it to the floor, cut it to the scribe line, then weld it directly to the floor and to the sides of the connectors to box them in to the floor. Seems like this would be just as strong as "through the floor" without dealing with the carpet and floor lump issues.
