Rear End swap questions

Ok.....I know this probably has been asked millions of times but.....ya I tried the search and found nothing......I did find something by Coop91RS how ever if at all possible I would like some pics of someone doing this.
I realize I could figure out how to do it myself but I have some major time constraints (one week and only in the morning. Im going to school to be a mechanic and the camaro needs to be gone by Friday and we only get shop time in the morning.) Having said that I would love some time savers and just general help with this swap.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Oh and its an 1984 Camaro, the rear end is stock from that year and I'm changing it with a 292 posi. If you need any other info let me know.

What do you want to know?
You have an '84 camaro, and you want to swap in a 2.92 posi complete rear end from a ...? what vehicle?
Or just the gears and posi?

2.92 doesn't sound right, so fill in the blanks here.

what i do to save time is pull the axles so you can unbolt backing plates then undo bolts for backing plates and hang them out of the way this way you don't need to bleed brakes other than that i can't think of anything else good luck and i hope you don't have any rusty bolts siezed in the rubber bushings
