T5 5-SPEED to stock bellhousing - rotation - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm looking at replacing my stock 69 C-10 3 speed manual with a T5 5-speed from Camaro or S10. As I understand it, the bolt pattern to the belhousing is the same, but the bellhousings I've seen from Camaro's are rotated/clocked to the left.
So, if I bolt one of these transmissions to my stock bellhousing, it'll rotate the transmission to the right.... Is it ok to run them this way? I'd think maybe the lubrication wouldn't be correct if it's rotated. Also,wouldn't the shifter then point off at a weird angle?

Here's what I'm talking about:
