Default Ford V8 swap T5 tab

I'm working on fitting my 5.0 and T5 into my 94 and I'm using the headman mismatched headers. On the driver side the header points straight at a tab on the bellhousing. Can I cut the tab off or will I need it for something later?

I think it holds the cable in place on a stock mustang but I can't remember.

That tab is on the bell right? If that’s the tab you’re referring to, then it was used for a cable actuated clutch. You won’t be needing it, though some folks use it as a spot to nut a threaded rod to pull the clutch fork forward to ease installing the trans.
