Newbie questions
Been searching around and found the answers to just about all my questions. Still have a few more, hope I didn't overlook threads that may have been pertinent in my search.
1. I am buying a 1991 Z28 Camaro, with the 5.7L 350, Code 8. It was run as a drag car, and I am converting it back to street configuration. It currently has the 4-speed automatic transmission which I will be replacing with a T56 manual 6-speed. I have seen the guide on installation but is there a list of every part I will need to convert from the auto to T56? I know what is needed overall but since I have not done a swap like this before, I have seen kits from several companies, and I don't want to buy too much stuff or not enough. Does any company make a 100% kit (bell housing, flywheel, clutch plate, cylinders, et al)? Maybe I am looking to get out of this too easy
2. I don't have a Chilton's book yet and since I haven't been around the car I don't know for sure, but the 91s were speed-density computers, correct? How much work (and would it be worth it) would it take to get in a mass airflow computer system? We won't be doing too much in the way of upping the horsepower, but with all the tinkering that's sure to go on the speed-density might be a downfall for the computer to keep up with what we're doing.
3. The 91 is an electronically driven speedo I'm guessing again, will I need a new sensor for the T56 as opposed to the auto?
Thanks for any help anyone can give, this site looks like I'll be doing a lot more reading in the coming weeks.

About the speedo, the T56 uses an electronic sender and so does your 91. What to make them work, I dont know, never done it.
