You are going to have to drill a hole for the master cylinder. If my car was down there I would let you look at it to get a reference point on where to drill

i have done this swap about 4 years ago so bit rusty though. yeah your going to have to dill a hole for the slave cylinder. 4 holes total in the swap. i was limited on tools then so i will just fill you in on what i used. the markings are there(slave) for it it helps if you have a t56 car next to you as i did. i used two drill bits one small one large. i marked the hole and the mounting holes for it and drilled many small holes in a circle about 2-3mm apart. once i had a complete circle i used the bigger drill bit to make the holes connect by drilling into the smaller holes. vola! now i used the bigger drill bit to drill the other two holes for mounting and cleaned up the big hole for the slave. the 4th hole is the one for your shifter and i used a small electric saw for it. just make sure you don't cut the hole too big because you have to mount the shifter boot onto it. https://ls1tech.com/forums/lt1-lt4-m...onversion.html i found this but i used another website to wire the reverse light, reverse lockout (btw i put on a toggle switch and it works great), speedo, and my skip shift is just unplugged. well i hope this is helpful to you and maybe someone else.

I cut the hole and mounted the master cylinder, and mounted it and the pedals last weekend. I have been beating around the bush about cutting the hole for the shifter boot, im going to do that right before i put the transmission in.
Kyle, it would have been a lot better and easier to have a nother car sitting there beside it to look at. I just mounted the pedals and started drilling, and got a hole saw about the same size as the master cyl, It want too bad.
Thanks guys, keep the advice coming.

The M6 torque arm should work, from what I have saw they are nearly identical. My Z28 has a factory Hurst and should be out of the car by the time I get back
The bracket is completely different, but i will make it work, i have a torch and welder and some scrap metal...
I had this problem too and it was a complete pain in the ***. i pumped that pedal a million times to get all the air out. i had it real close and then came up with the idea the the pedal was a bit too far out??? so i used a socket and extension with the aid of a hammer and tap the clutch slave closer to the pedal. it was a long shot but it worked and has been working ever since. going on 5 years and two clutches to this day. upgraded on the last clutch when i had to fix a rear main seal. so just keep on pumping!! good luck!
i have been pumping my *** off. but it aint getting any better. i got the air out of the line from the master cyl to the bleeder screw, but the slave cyl acts like it dont want to take the fluid
when i ran into the problem i also ended up buying a new slave but had the same problem even though it was brand new and was suppose to be prebleeded (not sure if that is even a word) so after spending 3 days on this after work i decided to try and make the pedal closer to the slave. it work and it's worth a shot. half an inch can make the difference.
