X 3 on the Tremec!!! Ours still "hangs" from the factory rear Xmember under the bell housing. We also didn't trim the floor away as you did. Ours was tight but didn't have to trim. We also used the mid-shift location. It is by far the best investment on the truck. We'll see how it does behind the blower now!

Also, if you use the T-5 from the Camaro don't forget that it is canted to one side. And it does bolt right into the bell housing from the I 6. The shifter will end up right under the bench seat as well. I know because I tried this before the Tremec. I wouldn't go that route.
