anyone swapped T5 into NA?

Hey all,
Just wondering if anyone has swapped the T5 into a NA 280ZX. I have a T5 just laying around and the 240k mile trans in my NA is on the way out. Just wondering if it just bolts in and you use the NA slave cylinder and clutch or if its more involved.
Thanks,

I know that these parts are different and can be easily remedied with the correct drive shaft and diff flange. I'm concerned more with the clutch and slave cylinder differences.

I believe its what is referred to as the 280b trans. Ratios are as follows: 3.062, 1.858, 1.308, 1.000, 0.773
The synchros are on the way out and the trans is tremendously noisy and I found metal chunks in the fluid at the last fluid change...doh. So, the T5 sound like it would be a decent upgrade and probably less expensive to install then it would cost to rebuild the original.
