Rich,
I've got an '87 Camaro T-5 5spd behind my Baker built 215/305.
It bolts right to the stock bellhousing. The clutch setup did
require some ingenuity to fit under this small bellhousing. The
pressure plate is a 10" Mustang, and the clutch disc is a 10"
Camaro ('84 I think)
HTH,

Don't know about the 6spds.
