Difference between FC 5speed and FD 5 speed

Hey whats up, i am currently looking at an rx3 and was going to do a 13b re swap into the vehicle. now i was told to use the fc's 5 speed instead of the fd's 5 speed, but after taking a look at both i've concluded they look about the same. whats the biggest difference if any at all. thanks

Ones uses a pull type clutch and the other uses a push type. Other than that I think the boxes are the same although I would belive that the FD box should have stronger internals.

yeah i knew about the clutch setups, i was just talking about size and dimensions really also wanted to know if the mounting points were the same on them, cause if so then i'd really like to use the fd's 5 speed instead of the fc's on this project beins i can get the 13b r complete with a 5 speed << dont know why but i think thats the coolest smiley ever
