There shouldn't be any play in the linkage. If there is you have a bad linkage. Make sure its adjusted properly before you check for play

How do i install shift linkage in a 1968 Chevelle?

For what transmission? Column or floor shift? While adjusting the linkage to align the shifter with the transmission has to be done no matter what you are working with, Manual transmissions have VERY different linkage than automatics do... Multiple rods vs. just one. Column shift linkage is also a LOT different (and more complex) than floor shift linkage is. If I knew what you were working with I could tell you how to install it step by step.
