Did you have to shorten the drive shaft?

What are you doing about wheel speed sensors? Or are they not required with the aftermarket control system?

Do you have a plan for your speedometer?

The package I got from whipplem104 took care of all of that. He includes a custom machined speed sensor setup that bolts to the output flange on the transmission, replacing the nuts on the flex disc bolts. A remote mount TPS that's actuated by a bowden cable, replaced the transmission cable. And the PCS controller has a programmable speedometer output. The shaft bolts right up, it takes a little more maneuvering to change flex discs now, but it wasn't too difficult twisting one in from under the car.
