Similar question to a couple days ago
Ok, my evil plot to put a T5 in my car has taken yet another turn. I have found a new possible donor, this time a 85 trans am. He just built a carb'd vortech 350 and wants a muncie 4 speed to back it up, and will sell me the just rebuilt two or so months ago T5.
So anyway, what i was wondering is:
What parts would i need to pirate? (besides the obvious)
Would i need a new driveshaft?
Would the PROM need to be altered?
I know, not a real specific question, I'm gonna post this in the engine swap board. But thanks up front to anyone with words of wisdom.

Well, besides the obvious, a driveshaft probably will be needed, not 100% sure though, but if a muncie 4-speed is going in the car, he will need a new driveshaft probably, so take his from him and you have that taken care of. And for the parts, i would take whatever you need, ex. clutch pedels, from the 6-cyl firebird. Those should be the same
