Will GM 200r4 work with factory floor shift location?

A few folks have asked "what's going to happen if there's not enough clearance for the shifter torque shaft once the 2004R is installed?" Well all my measurements say that there's enough clearance but if there is not enough clearance here's the back up plan. See PICS,
Put a small hole in the floor and snake a trans cable from the floor shifter, through the floor, around the back of the trans and over to the 2004R shifter lever. The cable shown here is missing the eyelet but they sell the one I need.
