Missing T5 Swap in Tech Articles

Where did it go? I've done it on 3 cars already but it's been a couple of years and I wanted to refresh my memory. I already screwed up once getting the a/c compressor apart...

Mainly I'm after the pedal installation since I won't get to swapping the actual trans for a couple of weeks. But since I have the dash loose to replace the heater core it makes the pedal swap a lot easier.

Remove the old pedal assembly, install the replacement. I'd pull the column first, and the driver seat to make room to work. Granted, my swap was for a cable operated clutch.
1988 Thunderbird. No details will be given or spoken of.

I know the basics, I've done 3 TC and a couple of Mustangs. I was looking for a pictures to know which bolts to take off.

Steve, I sent you a PM. These are all I can come up with. One is from Cool Cats

Here is one for swapping a T5 behind a 5.0 on a Fox;

I'm pretty sure the article was here. I did find a reference to it (just saying it was in the tech articles) when I was searching yesterday but it's not there. I distinctly remember there being a picture that had been drawn over showing notching out of some of the holes. Since I had recently done the heater core when I did the first car I suggested to just pull the dash since it's fairly simple and it makes the pedal install a lot easier. And then you don't need to do any notching.

The coolcats one doesn't have pictures (at least that I can see).

I found the pictures I was looking for on Stinger's site. I'm not sure if that was what I referenced in the past but it has the pictures I remember.
