Default Throw-Out Bearing?

When I bought my "95 Camaro a week ago the guy said it needed a throw-out bearing, tires, and oil level sensor that he knew of. While driving my car when pressing the clutch it makes a static noise but stops when the clutch is not pressed in which he said was the throw-out bearing. I'm not sure but I think the transmission has to be pulled to change the throw out bearing. So what else should I change? I'm going to replace the clutch while im at it. Anything else that i should change? I say "me" but I'm getting it changed at a local reputable shop at $29.99/hr labor rate.

i would go all the way and replace the pilot bushing, thowout bearing, clutch, pressure plate and consider changing the master and slave cylinders depending on there shape. once apart you may want to change the flywheel as well. could be all cracked up and need either turned or replaced. used to be pretty cheap to get one turned but its been a long time for me so maybe not so much now.

Wow 29.99 is a great rate. As Craby said if you are pulling the trans you might as well do it all. If you don't you are going to be paying for the same labor twice.

Alright thanks man. The car has a ton of miles, but it's been well maintained? I noticed on my Clutch kit I'm ordering It will come with the Plate, Clutch, Throw-out Bearing, and Pilot Bearing. (If applicable). Is that what you meant by pilot bushing? and does my year camaro have a pilot bearing?
