Default Info on GS300 manual swap

Does anyone have any info / pictures of the GS300 with a 5 speed or 6 speed swap, I remember seeing a couple of cars with the manual swaps but I can't find any info or pics now. I'm swapping a R154 with a 1JZ bellhousing into my GS300, I would like to see where past owners mounted their clutch master.

I used to own Auto Tuner, my shop built Nick Hogans green Supra. There isn't much fabrication, just install the bracket to hold the clutch pedal, mount the pedals, and drill a coule of holes for the clutch master, make some brake lines up for the master. The hardest part will be to fab up a custom center console piece but I'll probably have a stereo shop do that for me. Oh and custom make the driveshaft is another $500 or so.

We have a local MKII with a R154 5 speed making over 800RWHP so these trannys are stout. I've already done the GTE internals, 74mm PTE turbo, Haltech, 1000cc injectors, TRD LSD, and IC / Meth injection...

3 quick questions.
#1- where in florida are you?
#2- will it be the same price for me to get the conversion?
#3- does Auto Tuner do anything else for GS's?
