Dave,
Then it should be pretty straightforward - use current tranny and standard input shaft with the spacer, or change to the short input shaft and don't use a spacer.

I think if you go with the standard shaft and spacer, then the shifter will line up best with the hole in the transmission tunnel. If you change to the short input shaft and no spacer, you will have to modify the hole in the tranny tunnel as the tranny will have moved forward.

The dimensions are pretty tight, so just measure all you can to make sure, and when you bolt up the tranny, try to get it to slide all the way up to the bellhousing without using the bolts to pull it forward. That way you know you're not cramming the input shaft up into the crank too far.

Happy Holidays to you as well!
Scott
