Correct - if you are going to run hydraulic setup you will not need the "tab" on the frame as you won't be using the Z-bar. I'm not familiar with CC 5-speed's kit - does it come with the hydraulic setup? If you are going to use Hydraulic the main thing is that you get the correct pedal ratio. You don't want to "over-stroke" (that sounds dirty?) the master cylinder.
If you are able to use the factory stuff ie: z-bar and linkage it works pretty well. Another caution on this front though - the Chevy II had a different engine block originally which had a provision for the mounting of the z-bar. The block casting was different around the oil filter area. If you don't have an original Chevy II block you will need to use an adapter bracket of some sort to mount the pivot ball on the engine side. Did that make any sense?
It always baffled me that GM cast a different block just for these cars. Seems like they would have redesigned something on the car to make the standard small block work. Oh well, just one more odd Chevy II think!
You can give me a shout if you have any questions, but I'm sure the CC 5-speed guys will know more about than I do.
Later,
Brandon
