Convert The POS: 2t-g into KE rolla conversion

ok... becuase im bored most of the day, and have my brain id;y ticking over ideas. More and more it seems to concentrate on the installation of a 2T-G into my KE50, known as the POS.
I've done a little bit of reading and research, and it seems that there are two way to install the 2TG, replacing the K series powerhouse i have now 
- using K series mounting locations, but i've heard this causes problems with carbies clearing strut towers and mods to gearbox mounts.
- Modifying the KE crossmember to suit the proper 2t-g locations.
What have other people done? Josh (Emp2T-G) what have you done mate? Ideas, suggestions, support?
Also since the K50 box is a cable clutch i need to install a clutch master cylinder to utilise the T50 box. Whats recommended for use here?
And as for the diff... cos this would be done on the cheap... it doesnt change till it breaks!! 
Now is there anything i might've forgotten about here? upgrading fuel lines? obvious brake upgrade suggestions?
Thanks for any help here guys! And when it comes time for this to happen... be sure that you will be more than welcome to come along and bash up a KE50 with a 2T-G!! beer will be there...

ok... 
1st up the hydrolic clutch from a TA22 bolts up
just have to drill out the lumps in the firewall that are there for the jap spec models
2nd the gearbox mounts are eay
same crossmember,just need to use the holes at the back
(there are 2 sets of holes under there, standard 3K uses the front mounts)
3rd the engine mounts, you wont/shouldnt have any problems with the clearance of the carbies to the strut tower
theres a pic on Jonny R's site with a pic of the standart 2TG crossmember
with mine i have custom mounts
but there the same as the 3k mounts but with alittle more slop on them. but it wouldnt be hard to modify the stock mounts if your not happy how they sit.
4th the diff
i used my stock borg warner KE30 diff for 7 months
and it only died from a few hard launches in a row
it just started skiping a tooth when i went round corners.
but ive replaced with a borg warner diff from a KE55
(which is the same diff with bigger brakes)
i hope this heaps you and anyone else wanting to do this swap
into a KExx corolla
if you got any other questions(or corections)just shoot

yeah i read jonnies website previously... thats where i sourced my info. I was just a little confused about a coupla things, so i thought i'd ask to clear it up.
I'm assuming that you have followed the way jonnie suggested (placing the 2T-G in the middle rather than a bit to the right like the 3K)... and thats what you have suggested above?
Also where did you get your 2t-g crossmember from? Did it come with the engine or what?
