2000 Dodge Neon Firewall Swap for SRT Swap

I acquired my buddies 2000 SRT Swap and the firewall wasn't done right. He kept braking the rod on his master slave cylinder. So I went to the wrecking and got them to cut me out a piece of a firewall from a 2002 neon. I looked and didn't find much info on the firewall swap, so I'm going to make a post just for it. I saw some people welded a new piece in and some bolted and rtv it . Here are some pics of the cut out I got. I'm hoping that the people who have done the firewall swap can chime in on how and what they done.

I am in the process of moving, but will start this project in 2 weeks.

First question I have is can somebody mark my pictures below and mark out where they cut.

So I started tearing apart my dash today and got to the problem area on the firewall. Here are some pics. The first ones are what my friends did and and what I had to undo. I'll take any suggestions on how to do this. I'm trying not to pull the motor.

Here is the cutout almost ready to weld or bolt in. Not sure yet.

I heated my farwall and banged it in with some ball-peen hammers. Got it to look like the SRT firewall. Cut the whole for the slave out and made some support brackets for it. No problems with it so far.
