The problem is that it's fairly involved and gets old typing what all a person has to do to switch over. Not to mention it depends on what engine your running, what transmission you want to use. Whether you want mechanical linkage, hydraulic or hydraulic throwout bearing, etc.
In short, if you want the original setup you'll need a G-Body-specific bellhousing and clutch fork. T10/Saginaw/Muncie will all bolt up to the bellhousing and you can use a TH350 crossmember (same driveshaft with regular T10 and Saginaw too, not sure about Super T10).
one of my big concerns that i have looked for and haven't found is, what do you do with the steering collum? it locks when your in park and you cant take the key out unless its locked
When you take the automatic trans linkage off you will be able to turn the collar on the steering column to where it onlocks.
I just leave mine in the unlocked position all the time.
