Center consol palte from Auto to 5 Speed

[Suave25]

Guys

Need help in figuring out the cut out for my 68 Charger center console plate. It currently has an Automatic and I'm going with 5 Speed Transmission.
Don't want to buy a new Reproduction and would prefer sticking with mine. Does it need to be cut out or simply removing the automatic bezel.

Does anyone have the measurements so that I can cut out the area to fit the shifter. Would also need measurements from each of the edges so that I get as accurate as possible cut.

Thanks

Is it the same size without the boot? I'm wondering if its less than that.
