1980 Sunbird. I gutted the car, no AC, heater, sheetmetal dash, switched to manual brakes.
As for engine swap fitting....
I assembled engine and trans outside vehicle, slid them in together and bolted up the trans mount to the original crossmember using the rear set of holes. Then I made mounts using the factory engine mount holes. Power brake was in the way, ditched it for clearance (manualbrakes.com now has a setup for h-body using S10 master, i did all the mock up and photos for him). I made my own crossmember for between the lower control arm mounts, and mounted a mustang II rack and pinion on it. I am running the shallow holley muscle car oil pan and have plenty of clearance. The steering shaft was a major obstacle with headers in the way, I had to spend a small fortune for the V-dog 90degree steering coupler to make it work. Headers were cheap S10 LS swap shorty headers. I had to buy 2 sets, used left from one pair and right from a different pair. I cut off the flanges and extended them under the car to allow better access to outlet flanges, also swapped to v-bands.
