dakota 5 speed question

does it have the same bolt pattern as an 833 where it bolts to the bellhousing? I read a post on this sight that it won't fit in an A body. From what i have read there are at least 3 diff. 5 speeds, A535 , nv3500 and nv4500. has someone tried all 3. i have T5 in my 67 camaro and the feel of an internal rail shifter versus the external rod shifter is night and day, not to mention having the extra gear. does anyone have any info on gear ratios in the A535 trans.

thanks,
adam
