Will GM 200r4 work with factory floor shift location?

Yes mine also runs above the center link but between the larger starting gear ring and TCI setting the starter further toward the driver's side it took what little space I had. I guess it's a blessing is disguise because after looking at it more closely I found that the center link joints have been hitting the bottom side if the pipe NOT GOOD!! I thought I could hear a strange clunk when I made a hard left and hit a bump at the same time. I'll just fix all the problems in that area at one time because the people who put the exhaust into the car also had the down pipe up against the torsion bar on the driver's side ALSO BAD!! So for now there are some dents in the down pipe and I have ordered the oval tubing so I can replace that section of pipe next week.
Today I raised the tail of the tranny up a 1/4", now it's sitting nice. NO way the dip stick tube is going to fit unless I bend it a lot so I just ordered a 2004R flexible dip stick tube. Bought 8 quarts of synthetic trans fluid and finished bending and fitting the lines to the tranny. Double checked the torque on all the bolts. Spent the rest of the time heating and hammering, cooling, fitting..... heating and hammering, cooling and fitting the down pipe to clear the torsion bar, starter and center link. Starter is now installed!!! Exhaust is hooked up on the driver's side!!! Tomorrow....drive shaft length, get extra long torque converter bolts (stock ones won't work with the TCI 1/4" bushing that goes between the flex plate and the converter), Fit and re-weld passenger's side exhaust back in place, lower car and get the two top nuts on the two top studs, reconnect the coil, fill with fluid, blaa, blaa, blaa.
