Is this the thread you have already read?

For the reverse light plug:
In engine bay on front side of tranny. The connector with two wires on it is useless, so just zip-tie it up somewhere. The connector with 3 wires needs to be cut off on the plug end you need just the wires...you need to splice those wires into the MTX reverse light plug. The two purple wires go together, then the white wire goes to the yellow
wire on the car harness and the brown wire gets grounded to the frame.
In some cases it will be the purple-purple, white-white and yellow/with brown stripe that needs to get grounded.

since your using the urethane mounts, you wont need to worry about the bobble strut....hell, half of the 5-speed cars ive owned didnt even have a working bobble strut
the yellow wires on the clutch pedal are for the clutch start switch...if you dont hook them up, then you will just be able to start the car without pushing in the clutch....it usually isnt a problem if your used to doing it or you dont keep the car in gear when your not in it...
