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
Z bar, pedal assembly, rods, throwout arm, etc. They have rows of 2nd gen Camaros and Birds in their yard.

All American does sell all over the USA. Not sure how their shipping rates are, or how phone sales prices match with walk in sales.
Might call them and ask:

Thumbs up

Hey prs Juan, not trying to be smart@$$ ... If you had an automatic there was a torque converter on the 'FLEXPLATE'. For if you have a 'FLYWHEEL' it WAS or IS manual ready. Secondly, you really should balance your flywheel to your rotating assembley in the engine with the crank, rods, pistons, etc. And lastly if your flywheel is used it must be resurfaced for use with a new clutch system for best results. Good luck. I'll try to find out more for you at a later juncture. Also, the bellhousng that mates the trans to the engine would be a determining factor.

Chevy smallblocks are internally balanced (except the 400) and they are done without a flywheel in place, so no reason to balance a flywheel to the engine unless you've got a need to start winding 7000 rpm or more.

That depends on which clutch you have and which T10 you have. Both need to either be fine spline, or coare spline. They make the T10 either way, and they make the 12" Zoom either way. Is your T10 a 10 spline, and is the clutch a 10 spline? Or are they fine 26 spline?
