Default 69 Camaro shifter location dimension needed

I am restoring a 69 SS Camaro and installed a new trans tunnel that doesn't have the hole located for the 4 speed shifter. I need the dimensions from the firewall or motor mounts to locate position. I am having a complete custom fiberglass interior kit designed for the car and will post pictures as we progress. Thanks in advance for the dimension help !!

Thanks for the quick response the schematic should be exactly what I need. I'll post pictures of the interior and console as they progress. Thanks again, very much appreciated.

One of these days I'll weld a new tunnel in my car and cut a new hole for a stock located shifter and then I'll be able to put a console in the car. But I run an old Hurst Super Shifter, which sits closer to your leg on the side of the tunnel. The shifter has a real tight H pattern with a spring to help push it over in line for 3rd and a Lockout reverse. The shifter is "old school" drag racing and I've had the shifter in the car since 1984. When I was 17 LoL I didn't care about any stinking console. I love the look of a console now...but damn I still love my shifter LoL.
