When I put a 5spd into one of my 99s the only cutting/drilling I had to do was to the rear mount of the gear shift housing. The rear had to be moved a little bit closer to the driver's seat in order to get 5th gear. All I did was take the bolt out of the rear and loosen the front and move it until I could get all of the gears (the left front was a little farther forward than the right front) and then drilled the floor mount out so rear could be bolted down again.
I used a shifter, shift rod, and lower plastic shift gate from an '80 900T. Using those, I didn't have to cut the rod. Any 5spd shift rod that uses a rubber joint that is pinned on both ends (like on a 4spd) should work. I think that only includes '80-'81 and maybe some of '82.
