Thank you and @74stang2togo for the pics. I appreciate it.Thanks for the reminder @74stang2togo! I forgot you asked about this @Enzio: here's my setup. The manifold comes with a plate that mounts to the manifold that the bracket then mounts to. It's not easy to see in these pics, but I think you can make it out. One of the screws that holds that plate is under the throttle cable bracket.
I was skunked up till that point. I just got home and am doing laundry and thawing out one of those fillets for supper tonight. Thankfully I don't think I need detox.
Thank you for no ugly fish pic today.
Going to see the car tomorrow. The second coat of prime is on.
I went to the boneyard today to look for the wire harness to prepare for the 3G alternator upgrade, thank you @LILCBRA , and look what I found.
I nabbed the trim ring for the manual shifter on the center counsel. And I got the harness too. Got out of there for less than $10.

I may run by there late next week. I didn't look for the letters on the back. Is that what your looking for? The front was gone.
Other parts? I'll head out there today if they're open.
So far you want letters if there are any, and the clutch cable firewall escutcheon.
I reused my yoke, so mine is still intact. I dunno if it matters or not when swapping transmissions. 
I'd make a guess it's probably not needed, the shop should balance the driveshaft before it leaves. My guess is that that part of original yoke is some sort of harmonic balancer, but I could be wrong.....

My thoughts also. Do the guys that shorten and balance the drive shaft need the yoke installed?

as far as I know they need the yoke installed. I cut up the outer ring with an angler grinder at two opposit positions and removed it with a hammer and than removed the rubber. It's a damper and not needed.
