Im not seeing room for tranny cross member brakes and exhaust...

I did it.
I wouldn't do it again.
It's kind of a mess by the time you have a 4L60E, hydrboost, master cylinder and 2.5" exhaust all living in the same space.
I'd just put the brakes on the firewall like every automaker has been doing since 1960 or so. It's ugly but personally I'm not bothered by it.
I think I have a pic in my build thread of how it all fits together. You may have your engine / trans further back than I do, hope so anyway.
