t5 trans swap?

so as long as i use headers that would clear the factory mopar 4 speed linkage, i can use the mopar 4 speed linkage and pedals with a t5? thats a wicked deal if i can do that...how come you decided to go hyrdaulic? was it because your headers wouldnt clear the linkage? and what kind of headers re you running may i ask? thanks for the help so far
