Re: rear end / brake question
1LE is more used to refer to the front brakes I believe since they were 2 piston design. If it's a 1LE. I'd pull the front spindles, calipers, and etc all to resell them.
G92 I believe is the Posi (Limited Slip) rearend. If it's a 9 bolt probably 100-400 depending on the shape. If it's a 10 bolt you can get them for $100 all the time around here at the yard. If it's cheap enough it's always nice to have a spare roller sitting around in case one explodes on you. I have a junk weld'd up 9 bolt in the garage still just for that reason.
The big things I look for when I'm out is 1LE front brakes, does it have a non-ac heater box, does it have the flash light overhead console, does it have aftermarket parts at all, does it have a 9 bolt, or did someone do a LS1 driveshaft swap in it. Other than that I check out the new firebirds/camaros for interior (seats, center console) and LS1 driveshafts. In any of those cases I can buy parts here cheap enough in the yard to double or triple my investment.

Re: rear end / brake question
here is a pic of the rear end in the 89 . Is this just a g92 brake set up? Its definetly not a g92 or 1le car. Any one have any ideas?

Re: rear end / brake question
Assuming the gears haven't been changed its a 277 posi. Would it be worth getting?

If 10 bolt and you wanted the brakes could pull those depending on the cost. Fresh calipers from auto parts store are cheap normally.
If it's a 9 bolt it would be stronger than your 10 bolt, but still not really that desireable because of series and gear.
You choice.
