Thats the way I did mine...starting with the "linkage pole"(the post that goes through the floor) make sure the shifter and linkage are positioned properly...attach the brackets to the console itself, position and tack-weld (remove console carpetting)....then the other stuff falls into place. You'll also need the wiring for the console shift light and back-up switch and cig. lighter (if required), and the trans bracket for the torque shaft.
