swapping a t5 for a t56

I am planning on swapping out my worn t5 in a 91 Z28 for a t56 out of a 95 LT1. I already have the trans and the shohn crossmember, but I am not sure what else I need to replace and or what can be reused from the t5. Is everything else interchangable? Do I need to buy a different clutch or fly wheel? If anyone can throw me some info it would be greatly appreciated!

TGO welcomes you!

Take some of your time to use the search function. This swap is very common and there are rons of posts out there that cover this swap in great detail.

I have done alot of reading on this and have searched all over this site, but I know very little about transmissions. I know what parts I am going to need, but that is where I am stuck. I dont know what is interchangable with a t5 and a t56. I know nothing about clutches. Like I said before, any info from people who know what to do will be appreciated.
