You will need to change the shift plate for the manual version and the console will have to slide back about 4 inches or so. We bought the McLeod 2.3 inch relocate for $335, and moved our 67 console back 2 inches. We are NOT happy with the McLeod shift relocate, it required a ton of work to get it to fit properly.

If you have to move the consol back, you should look into buying a Viper T-56. Its not only stronger, but the shifter is mounted forward 4-5 inches. I dont know about a 69 Camaro, but my with my Chevelle the Viper trans fits perfect into the stock consol in the stock location.

I Also have a Viper T56..
With the stock F-Body T56... the Sifter location came up on my bench Seat.. I looked into doing the McLeod Shifter and also their kit to move the shifter to the forward location, but for the cost of all of that.. I chose to go the Viper T56 which does have the forward location and cleared my Bench seat.. I would be very close to the stock manual shifter location and shouldn't be too far off for you.
