Swap to t5

Hi everyone, a guy I know that works at a transmission shop has found a t5 for me to put in my 62. He is going to put on an s10 tail-housing so the shifter is in the correct location for a bench seat and a different input shaft so that it will work with the stock clutch. I will also have to put in a transmission mount. My question is what else will need to be done for the swap? I currently have a front motor mount with bell-housing mounts on my 261, will I need to switch to side mounts or could I just keep the front mount and bell-housing mounts? Will the torsion bar cross member make it difficult to install the transmission? Thanks
Nik

Oh forgot I also have to get a one piece driveshaft
