picking up GTA parts car tomarrow...help!!

im getting an 88 GTA tomorrow, ive got an 86 base firebird with a 5spd and a 305, what should I take off the car and put on mine to improve my car? the car has a 350 tpi
ive got some questions!
also if anyone has any other info i might be interested in let me know


(are those 4 bolt main or 2?)

(are they roller cam engines?)

(can I just bolt the tpi up to my 5spd no problem?)

(what is the deal with the digital gauges? did they come in these cars? were they an option?)

(did these cars have 9 bolts? or 10 bolts?) ( are the 9 bolts any better?)

(did these cars have th 36/24 sway combo?)

(will the tpi run right with no cat?)

(at what point of modding the 350 do I have to have the computer tuned? heads, cam, rockers, headers, injectors?)

(can i just bolt in the aluminum rad and two electric fans?)

1.)2 bolt
2.) not sure lol i should know this
3.)yes
4.)yes they were an option would be a pain to put in your firebird though with all the wirirng but is possible
5.)being a 88 it should have 9-bolt which imo is better than 10-bolt, but parts are very$$$$$$$$ and hard to get
6.)I believe so
7.)yes
8.)depends really how far you take it
9.) they should might have to change some wirirng but should bolt up just fine
