I did a 4WD Conversion. That's for your TC shifter linkage. I bought the Novak cable shift instead of the stock linkage,I figured I might as well upgrade while everything was out

I actually already have the 231 Novak linkage .. So I don't need to worry about welding up those holes on the floor? I won't need them?

You need to keep those holes. They are for the bracket for your linkage

just sold my Novak linkage on eBay and bought the boostwerks linkage so I won't have to worry about the holes anymore. Way cheaper linkage and simpler!
