sounds like the clutch linkage will be the hardest part.

Well around here I'd go to All American and get everything for around $125-$150. Not sure what you have for wrecking yards there that might have a 2nd Gen with a stick to buy parts from. You might check your local Craigslist for someone parting one out from 1970-81.

What all do you get for 150-200 Vall? I swear I found the best deal but I'm gonna kick myself if yours is that much better. I spent I think 115 for the Z-Bar alone.

Ok I over priced my memory. Here is the kit for 215. 1970-1971 Camaro 4 Speed Standard Shift Clutch Brake Pedals & Linkage SS RS Z28 | eBay

that is a good deal for 215 it includes everything needed and its new never know the shape it might be in from the junk yard,but then again maybe its better quality being a gm one,never tried a swap like that.
