I was running a T-5 and now a Tremec 3550 with a steel bellhousing.
My pedal setup is a wilwood forward mount dual master brake with a master cylinder for the clutch pedal.

The slave cylinder is a pull type willwood.

What I did was fabricate a U-shaped bracket that mounts to the dual head bolts that hold the driver side engine mount to the block. The bracket bolts to the front bolt and goes down below the rubber mount then a horizontal bar connects this down bar to the matching one on the rear engine mount bolt.

I fabricated this from 1" x 3-16 flat bar. I then drilled and tapped a hole in the flat bar so I could attach the front rod end(comes with the slave cylinder) and then I used a connector and bolted a longer rod to the back of the slave cylinder. I used a few washers to shim the front rod end so the rear rod would clear the hole that the cable unit is supposed to go thru.

Works pretty good.

One trick was to use a larger master cylinder on the clutch pedal so the clutch would disengage quicker.

The only maintaince I had to do in two years is replace a couple of cheep O-rings that I got from a local industrial supply house. If the slave cylinder leaks it is outside the bellhouding and easy to service. This keeps fluid away from the clutch as well.

If you want pictures e-mail me and I will try to take a few.
