C-6 to T-5 swap

The early bellhousings do not match with a T-5 if that's what you are suggesting.

What did use as a crossmember?

Sorry, I missed this question. I used the stock C6 crossmember and mount. I sectioned about 1/2" out of the center when I replaced the trans mount... i guess the old one got squishy.

You are correct. I was thinking of a top loader.

I used a 90's V6 bell housing that takes an 11" clutch and 164T flywheel... why the V6 uses an 11" and a V8 uses a 10.5 you'd need to ask the engineers. I used a rebuilder grade flywheel, disc and diaprhagm pressure plate kit, Rhinopack I think was the brand. I went with the 11" so I could use OE replacement stuff for the Cleveland. The Fox body throw out bearing is the only "different" part.
If you are going with a "kit" I'd stick with what they recommend. I did my own hodge-podge of parts to make it work. Like many things I tend to overthink stuff and choose the low buck time proven parts. The 90's trans has a longer input shaft and deeper bellhousing that moves the trans back about 3/4" from the Fox body stuff. The shifter comes up at the rear edge of the factory opening.
I hope I answered your questions...

That’s great information. Thanks for your reply.
