Default 5 speed TKO install questions

Installing mine this saturday. 2 questions, though:

1: Do you have to cut the torque arm boss off the tailshaft? I've heard that you do, but I test fit my tranny, and it didnt seem to be in the way. Will it cause future problems?

2: Approx how much will the driveshaft need to be cut? What's the best way to measure?

Thanks
Cris
