That isn't a T5. It is an NV3500 or NV4500 5 speed from a full size truck, not an S10 at all. It bolts right onto the 350 bolt pattern. Do you have the internal or external clutch linkage? If you have the internal, don't loose the throw out bearing! They are NOT cheap. You can tell by the fact it will have 2 hydraulic fittings on the passenger side. The mechanical linkage will look like a standard throw out arm but make sure you have a slave cylinder for it.

We used one of the mechanical types on my son's truck. It took a bit to get the linkage right but we did use S10 pedals under the dash, just had to drill a different mounting hole for the shoulder bolt.

If you look at my HAMB thread, you can see some of what we did with motor measurements and stuff. There are a few pictures that I posted on another thread here if you search my posts.
