If you have buckets, you can install an F-body T5 without any changes at all, no problema.
The 92 and earlier S10 T5 trannys are all NWC.
The 93 through 95 S10 T5 trannys are WC BUT they all had the FORD case design and will not bolt to the Chevy factory bell.
Like Jocko said, a WC T5 with the correct S10 tailhousing will need to be a hybrid.
