You can make the T-5 Power brake thing work, you've just got to deal with the clutch arm- There are two options for that: A bent arm that avoids the problem, or a hydraulic clutch-
I built a mount to put a wilwood 3/4" cluch mastercyliner along side the brake booster.T hen I ran flex lines from it to the hydraulic throw out bearing- In fact the resevoir is right below the brake inspection cover. It's basically in the stock location for the original brake cylinder. Since the Brake Booster moved the rod towards the tranny I modified the break pedal just a little and now everythis is hidden and looks stock.
The pedal modification was simple, using a cut off wheel I cut off the tab on the bottom of the pedal that the clevis bolted to, welded in a piece of steel horizontially and then welded the original tab perpendicular to it. Basically, I moved the original tab about an inch and 1/2 to the right.
Used to look like this:
