I have a GMM Ripshift, made in Australia, that bolts right to the trans. The original shifter location on the trans puts the mount under the radio. That is why the adapter is made. The Ripshift(which is like a Pro5.0) fits under the radio and then the stick has a couple of 90 degree bends to fit the console.
Once you take off the GTO shifter, you'll see what I'm talking about.
I'll see if I can find some pics of it.
Edit: Here's a good thread with pictures. There are more of them on LS1GTO.com but this was the first one I found.

I talked to tech at McLeod about their shifter for the T56. They have many options, in the stock location they can move the shifter something like 4" forward or backward and either left or right about 2". You get your trans mounted in your car determine where you want your shifter, call them, they give you the part number and you can order it from Summit. They also said they can accomodate a shifter mounted in the forward location where that plate is.
