Alex to answer your questions the tranny ount just took a little bit of time. If you took more I am sure you could make it look alot better than mine. The clutch was a 10.5 but we used everything else 11. It works.

Shifter location in a b-body would be i believe tha same as it looks in the e-body. All I know is that the put the shifting location directly in line with the tranny center instead of off to the left side like the 833. It would be easier and better looking not to have a 4-speed hump.
