do u have 2 cut tunnel on a t56/ls2 swap

[mhotel1]

Is there a way to avoid cutting up the tunnel on an ls2/t56 install inot 69 camaro? I am tryin to get a handle on this before proceeding with the body work. I do not have the motor and trans to test fit as of yet. I hear yes and no.

Any advice is greatly appreaciated..oh ya I am very new to the forum as well as ls2 swaps if you coul not tell!
