Need help with a 82 Z288

This is my first 3rd gen camaro, I just bought it yesterday. The car was inside a deserted chicken house. It is a 82 Z28 with 305 and 3 speed auto and he swore it only had 90k miles on it. Anyway all I had to do was put fresh gas in it and battery and plug wires and it runs, even the a/c still works, not bad for not being touched in 10 years.
This is my ?
The car has a q-junk carb on it,3 speed auto, fiberglass hood(busted), good sounding 305. Was this factory stuff or added? What kind of rearend does it have? What emmisions are supposed to be there (ex smog pump or other stuff).
Any help is appreciated

The rear should be a 7.5 10 bolt. If you plan on modding the weak 200thm trans should be the first thing to go. I have an extra 82 hood if you want it. Send me an E mail if you have anymore questions.

If it's not a Canadian car it came with a smog pump, A.I.R. tubes, EGR valve, and catalytic converter.
