High humps are easy.
Use the hump cover itself for the template.
I use "nut certs" to make the threaded connection in the floor.
Others have welded nuts to the bottom of the floorpan.
Then you can use stock oem style carpet as well.
Much easier than a custom trans tunnel.

Chad, Keith covered it very nicely for you. I would install the high hump no matter which dropmember you choose. Even with the mild dropmember you will probably need the extra room.
You can still lay frame in the front with even the touring dropmember as I have depending on your overall tire height and which drop spindle you use. My deep transmission pan is holding my frame up about a 1/2" from laying in the front but I'm not to worried about that right now, I'll eventually change it to a stock pan.
The high hump was easy to install, like Keith stated I just used it as a template and then cut the hole out. Then just bolted it in. I also seamed sealed mine on both sides because I don't plan to take mine out.
I have the same Vintage air kit that Hart Rod just installed in his 68 for the non-ac dash. They include the templates and vents in the kit to install them. Just three holes and you have AC vents. It is a really nice kit.
