Re: tranny swap no not the wrong section
What he didn't say was that you have to remove the gears from your auto trans and compare the numbers of teeth on the driven VSS/speedo drive gear to the trans output gear and get your gear ratio before you do anything else. Then you get the 2 gears that are closest to your ratio. There are only 2 VSS drive gears that GM lists, IIRC an orange one (9T?) and a purple one, but there are a number of driven gears used to match tire size and rearend ratios. I have a spare purple one (7 tooth) if you need it. I ordered it from the dealer only to find out I already had the right gear, and of course, you can't return special order parts... 
:edit: The other drive gear is a red one... just looked it up.

Re: tranny swap no not the wrong section
You can find the correct drive/driven info, along with color, in the link I provide above. You should be able to purchase the exact gear or gear set you require (providing you're running OE wheels/tires). If you're unsure of your rear ratio, check the following FAQ:

would switching the tranny from auto to stick screw the computer up?

I cant say for sure on camaro's but i do know on 87+ GM full size trucks, s10's, and cavaliers, berettas, etc it does make a difference. Aftermarket chips ie: Jet performance, hypertech, etc list different prt#'s for auto opposed to std as well.
I would think with gm being fairly simple and keeping things similar it would be the same situation with these cars.
