you could also disconnect the old coil wires and tape them well, then tuck them out of sight, and remove the old coil.

you should really fix the shifter problem-not try to mask it. you can get the parts to tighten-up the linkage. if you drop the tranny pan, you can bend the arm that sets the detent tension, to increase it. i always do this on older trannys, to restore/improve the tension for positive "feel". your motor/tranny mounts might be an issue too.
