are you trying to keep the engine bay clean by not having anything on the firewall or do you just like to have the pedals go through the floor like the old style? a firewall mount is easier for sure. a frame swap is already enough work for most guys. sometimes that can make or break the project, being in deeper than anticipated for the skill level, the shop and tools available or the time away from the regular household stuff.
just saying, a firewall mount will get you going quicker and can be reversed without too much difficulty later once you have had some time "on the road".
