Yes, but it won't be plug and play. The center strut of the console will probably may need to be removed/relocated and the belt buckle cup will need to be shortened. If you try for a 1/2" of clearance from the shifter plate to console you'll need to fab a cover plate approximately 5" x 10" x 3/4". These cars dimensions can vary quite a bit for numerous reasons.
The number one rule is driveline/pinion angles need to be correct. Stance and subframe bushings all play a role. Stock ride height has the best chance of no tunnel cut mods, 2" lower just about guarantees a tunnel cut.
My car is looking like it will need an extra 1" - 1.25" of tunnel height
