I believe (and stand to be corrected) that TR5 is basically another brace, just to give a bit of rigidity to the engine bay.
Makes sense to put it on the drivers side, so you should be able to swap it no bother.
Some people on here have waited until the engine is in before welding in TR5, this would obviously give more room for installing the engine, but you must make sure you can get the engine out afterwards! Although it is possible to drop the engine from the bottom of the bay.
Welcome to the forum, what sort of engine and tranny are you thinking of using? Would be interesting to know what you plan on using as a donor. MX5? (I think you lot call it a Miata?)
