The linkage for the column shift on a 1969 Delta 88 I owned was on the outside of the firewall. I simply removed the linkage pieces from the column (think there were two) and the transmission. Then I was able to install an aftermarket shifter on the floor. In this case the aftermarket shifter used a solid pushrod linkage to the transmission armature on the driver's side but if you plan to use a stock type shifter with a cable I would think that would work as well if you hava ALL the parts. Again, this is assuming your car would be configured like the Delta was. Of course, I still had a column with a bump where the shifter arm used to be and a display on the dash which raises the same question perro stated. When you get the floorshifter from a donor car, get the steering column too. You will still have to address the indicator on the dash though.
