you can not buy just the hard line. You either have to pull the aluminum ends out of the original one and make your own, or buy a whole clutch slave and master assembly from GM. It is expensive but I just bought the whole assembly from GM and called it a day. Way less headaches.

You could get one for next to nothing if you can find a manual f-body in the junkyard. The 6 cylinder ones are identical to the V8 ones. If you want to upgrade, the fourth gen cars use a stainless steel braided line instead of the plastic one, and they bolt right up on a thirdgen. You can buy the complete assembly from GM for about $160, or you can get lucky like I did and find a fourth gen setup in the boneyard for dirt cheap.

I think the only ones with a stainless line are the LS1 powered cars correct?

I actually pulled mine off a 95 firebird with a 6 cylinder in it. Not sure if they started using the stainless line right in 93, but 95's have them.
