T56 Parts:
Pedals
Cluth cylinder

Bellhousing

Thanks.

What other parts would I need? Just want to get all the parts in advance, so I don't have any "loose ends" when working on it.

get the gas tank and fuel pump as long as your doing that much you may as well get the newer plastic tank it won't rust the way your old steel one will eventually and you will have the correct pump for the lt-1 even though i belive the tpi pump would work never hurts to be sure

The LT1 tanks arent plastic, dont bother with it, you didnt specify if your RS is a V6 or V8 car right now, what mods or parts do you have on it, etc, is the motor / trans from an f body, what year is it.

My RS is a 305 V8 TBI right now.

Mods I have right now: Flowmasters, high performance 700R4 tranny and high flow thermostat and water pump.

LT1/T-56 coming from 1995 Camaro Z28. 67k miles on the motor.

Get yourself LT1 Edit to remove the vats and stuff www.carputing.com

A set of 3rd gen headers.

a new set of poly motor mounts and a trans mount,

T56 crossmember from spohn, or their crossmember / tq arm.

fuel lines you can have made locally or get at www.lt1intake.com i think.

fuel pump, a stock replacement one for TPI will work, but i'd get a tpi upgrade one from www.racetronix.com.

a Manual trans shift plate for your console.

the radiator, hoses and heater lines from the 4th gen.

Just mentioning cuz you didn't state it...
You didn't mention:
LT1 intake manifold
throttle body
clutch hydraulic lines for T-56


Then,
You'll need to figure out the A/C lines and power steering lines.

Then, either block the EGR off or get the EGR valve and hoses...

And...cap off the air pump or use the air pump...
