Default clutch conversion

I have a 71 mustang with a 69 351w, 91 T5 Trans with conversion kit to 69 bellhousing, I'm not sure what clutch setup I need. It's cable clutch but not sure if I need 91 clutch setup or 69 clutch or if it even matters at all? Any advice will be taken. (first rebuild and conversion) thank you

As I understand you can use the 69 setup with the adapterplate setup. SO you should be good if you have all the linkages and ect. The issue may be if the cable setup was not made for an old mustang as I understand. Added note: If using a new bellhouseing, then there is something that bolts to the bellhousing (not adaptor plate) that allows you use old clutch setup . Or you can use a new bellhousing with a new clutch setup. Another note, some of the cable setups get in way of headers. I will be putting T5 in my car next week so I will know if all I read is true lol.
