swapping 700r4 for T-5

Hi, i'm looking to swap out my 700r4 for a built T-5. i have a 91 Formula with a 350 4bolt with a carb setup. all ECM relatted stuff removed. My question is what are all the parts i will need to complete this swap and where would be a cheap place to get them? I'll already have the T-5. how do i swap it in? Next question is how do i know what flywheel and starter to get? the flexplate that is on my 350 right now is different from that on the L98 and so is the starter. also will the T-5 need any electrical hookups in order to function correctly, like signals from an ecm? finally which driveshaft will i need?

do a search. Auto to manual conversions have been coverd many times.
You will need the f-body specific bellhousing, clutch system, shifter, etc. The factory type bellhousing requires the smaller (153tooth) flywheel which should mate to your current starter. - the trans itself must also be the f-body specific.

i don't think it would mate to my current starter because the one i'm using came out of a different vehicle not an f-body.
