i have a 92 firebird w/ 305 auto. can get a 86 camaro w/305 5-speed. i want to swap the 5-speed to my firebird. is it a direct swap. thanks.

Everything except the flywheel. You will need an 87 or newer flywheel for the one piece rear main seal engine.

Other than that, you're golden.

another thing to think of...in '88 i believe they had a second generation of t-5 transmissions, they had better internals for the most part. up to you, but you may want to look for a newer 5 speed manual tranny. like i said up to you and your budget.

but yes as stated above thats all you should need. It's good to get a donor car thought so you have something to pick from as you'll need the entire hydraulic system.
