Need Help With A T5 Swap

[Norm Clark]

Hey guys this is my first post here. I've gathered all the parts needed to finally go the aod to t5 route. I just noticed that my 5speed pedal assembly does not have the switch bellow the quadrant. What is this switch and do I need it. My car does not have cruise control. Thanks

The switch may be the clutch safety switch; it prevents the starter from operating unless the clutch pedal is depressed.

Typical start circuit...

This one I have on the pedal assembly

I don't have the one to the right of the brake pedal

The brake pedal on is either for the cruse control or the brake light. The cruse control uses a vacuum switch with a single vacuum line connected to it.

Ok so I'm sorry if I'm asking too many questions, but I just want to know if this pluggin not being on my pedal assembly is going to make my swap a nightmare. I took a pic of my pedals and pointed (with a wrench ) to the missing component that I'm concerned about. Is it something that I will swap from my auto pedals? Thanks again for your patience with this new guy
