Which tremec are you talking about?
3550 uses the same 10 spline clutch as a t5, but a tko uses a 36 spline clutch and a different driveshaft. Either way you will need a new bellhousing or scattershield, you'll need to cut and set the crossmember back or buy a new one. Those are the main things

You mean 26 spline.

No, my TKO 500 I ordered with a 10 spline input, its an offered option for ford clutches, reused the Centerforce DF I had (low mileage), I have been using my stock clutch fork with no problems, and I did buy the DS spacer, because it a SN95 car, and the T-5 is 5/8 inch longer (input shaft)in them. As far as modifying the crossmember, I slotted the holes to the tranny mount, worked fine. You will need a bellhousing for sure, I reused my Mcleod scattercan. Good luck, its not that big a deal.

Oops, forgot to mention the 31 spline yoke, it came with my trans, I just put it on my FMS Alum. DS and was good to go, you won't need a new DS.

bellhousing
AOD driveshaft will work
AOD crossmember
TKO requires a different clutch (26 spline)
The yoke will come with the tranny. If you get the 3550 it will be the same as a T5.
you'll need a different shifter (The stock one sucks)

I think thats about it. It's an easy job... [patriot]
