Default 81 Camaro Clutch Linkage

Im trying to install the clutch linkage under my 1981 Camaro z/28 to my Muncie 4-speed. I am so confused how it all goes together. Can anyone either tell me step-by-step or show me a diagram?

This is for a 72 but it is basically the same. It should help you out.

Does the clutch linkage connect to the transmission itself too? not only the clutch fork??

The long rod connects to clutch pedal arm and goes through firewall and hooks into the straight arm off the z-bar. The z-bar rides on two studs. One ball stud mounts in the side of engine block and the other ball stud bolts into a bracket bolted to the frame. From the other arm that comes off the z-bar you hook the lower adjustable rod and the return spring. Then the other end of the adjuster rod rides in the clutch fork and the other end of the spring hooks through a hole in the clutch fork.

No I don't believe so. There is linkage from tranny to the steering column for reverse lock out.
