OK, so put a STOCK 88 S-10 manual box in it! You don't have to modify ANYTHING like you did to put in the Vega box(that has a reputation for breaking). You could have even used the original pitman arm! OH, it weighs 5-6 pounds more than the Vega box. So for a few pounds on the nose of YOUR car, let's change the rules for everybody!
