how much do people usually pay for working manual transmission stuff? I have a 78 cutlass that came factory with a 305 and a 4 speed

It depends on whether or not someone is looking for the mechanical clutch parts for a conversion. Many people are swapping to 5 and 6 speed manual transmissions now, and going to hydraulic clutch setups. There are some reproduction manual trans parts available now as well. In some cases, original manual trans conversion parts have become worn over 30+ years of use, and don't work as they did when they were new.
If you have a motivated buyer, who is looking for these parts, then they're worth whatever the buyer is willing to pay for them. Hope this helps.

I see a problem with the upgrade to the 1995-1997 S10 7/8" Rear brake wheel cylinders for the 78-88 G body 3/4 wheel cylinder. The G body wheel cylinder uses a clip/spring for mounting and the S10 uses two bolts ?

Doesn't matter. There are brackets you can get that allow you to bolt the wheel cylinder to the backing plate. They should be used since the clips can be very hard to install and the wheel cylinders can shift around affecting the brakes.

Junkyard question.

The Cadaillac Deville in the junkyard came with a factory transmission coolers. Is this worth fighting with for $10

The previous owner installed a tilt column and steering wheel from a gen 2 trans am in my cutlass. Did a pretty nice job. Nothing hacked up that i can see and they even fabbed "Oldsmobile" into the horn button
