Thanks for the comments and suggestions, but I already have 4 brand new tranny heat shield brackets already installed. In fact I have the tranny heat shield installed. I hope it fits with my new Tremec perfect fit.

Not to divert your thread to a related topic, but the Tremec fit with the heat shield is iffy. IF you have new body mounts, not old and compressed, and IF your floor pan has not sagged, you may be able to make it all fit. You may need to put spacers between the trans cross member and the floor pan to raise it up.

Don't ask me how I know.............
Good luck!
I truly appreciate the insight. I do have all New body mounts. Plus, being it is an early '64, it still has the body mounts that are on the cross member right next to the inside (rear) seat mounts in center of car. If that doesn't work, my Tremec perfect fit kit came with bracing that can be added to cross member area to take up any potential sagging, so I 'should' be good.
Thanks,

Those holes are high up, too high for under-tunnel applications.
I do already have that clip on drivers side to support the Speed-O cable.
I'll keep looking / checking to see if I can figure out what the 2 holes were used for. I may have a picture (of the thousands that I've snapped) I'm also going to try to get a hold of previous owner to see if he did have fire extinguisher installed. The carpeting certainly doesn't reflect that anything was installed there, and like I said, I've owned for 37 years and vette has only 42K original miles.
