From column to floor A/T conversion

[koosh]

Besides removing the linkage arm from steering column down to tranny, and removing the interior column shift lever, is the anything else that needs to be done?

Factory floor shift cars had a different steering column without the gear indicator. If you want a factory look you’ll have update the steering column. If you don’t mind the look or the gear indicator, the column shifted steering column will still work for steering after the conversion.
