Im in the same situation looking for r154, but not from mk3
I know it's almost impossible to find one out of the soarer on cl with extended shifter housing so you don't have to cut a hole in the tranny tunnel. If I'm wrong somone correct me. 7mgte tranny is a little different than the r154 out of a soarer 1jz
If you go 7m route u need to keep your 1uzfe bell housing and have an adaptor made to match your 7m with a custom throw out bearing and a clutch slave cyl or go quantum auto hydrolic bearing and lines. You'll have to do that with either trany or go custom since there is no plug and play option $$$$ and swet.

If your car if a factory auto, you will still need to cut a hole in the tunnel whether you put in a factory w58 or r154 (regardless of whether it's a real soarer one or a MK3 with extended shifter).

Here's what I mean:

Look at how this gentleman cut out the hole in the tunnel. That's basically all you need to do. It's not difficult to do.

I would read that whole thread if you are serious about doing the swap.
