If you look carefully at the sheet metal the stamping for the clutch master cylinder is already there, you just need to cut out the hole. as for pedals...I used a 79 rx7 one. At first I was gonna take out the whole pedal box and swap (my glc was automatic), but then I saw how similar the two pedal boxes were and decided to use just the longer through bolt from the rx7 with the glc pedal box and rx7 brake and clutch pedals. you are on your own for fabbing up a master cylinder push rod since the rx7 one will be too short. I ended up using a bolt that was about an inch longer than the rx7 push rod and turing it down on a grinder
