'91 3.1L Auto Firebird ---> L98 Auto Firebird

So, I want to see if I have everything listed correctly, and I have a few questions. Heres what I got so far:

L98/TH 700R4- $1400
L98 Motor/Tranny Mounts- $70
L98 Radiator/Hoses- $140
L98 Gauge Cluster- $???
V8 Springs- $??? (Will get later on)
L98 Fuel Pump/Lines/Filter/Strainer- $100

Questions:

1) Is a new fuel pump/lines/etc. really necessary?
2) With the gauge cluster, do I need to get one from any V8 Firebird within the right years, or does it have to be from an L98 Firebird?
3) Do I need a new ignition system? If so, can anyone reccomend one?

Is that just about everything?

Thanks

You dont need the radiator, in 91-92 they used the V8 radiators on the v6's. If your drivers side has the outlet on the top, you don't need a new radiator. You can also use the v6 fuel pump, its the exact same one out of a TPI since yours is a 91. Gauge cluster needs to be any v8 91-92 bird I think.
