During installation, if you get the trans almost in place, but it is still about a quarter inch from being flush on the bellhousing, press the clutch pedal and it should slide in place. This is a possible roadblock, it baffled my buddy and I for a day or so.

My brother had to remove his t5 so may times over the years from breaking them he go to the point he didn't have to pull the h-pipe off. Replacing the trans with what you already have is simple. Again holding it up to align it is the hardest part.
