Auto to manual conversion

The center console has brackets that are welded to the floor pan. I suppose you could screw them on as well. Not too sturdy though. How about the z bar bracket on the drivers frame rail. It needs to be welded. It takes a lot of strain every time the clutch pedal is depressed. All the linkage needs to be very close to perfect or it won't work properly.

Ok but does the center console go where it goes on an automatic, because from the pictures that I've seen, the hole for the shifter is further back. So does it just use linkage to go from where the shifter is on the console to where the hole is in the floor?
