Exclamation (URGENT)Car problems--Need help

I'll start off by saying hello to you all, im new here. I recently bought a 95' auto v6 camaro from a friend, he stated it had a couple problems but im good at fixing sht if I know what's wrong in the first place. He couldnt really tell me and I've been doing some research but I figure you guys know what's up. I'll make a short list:

1.When I start her up it kind of takes a few secs then it starts
2. May be an exhaust leak--sometimes when i'm outside my car i'll get a whiff of exhaust fumes but I checked under the car putting my hand under the pipes and didnt feel anything.
3.There's a small but still noticable whine around my gas tank by the muffler(fuel pump?)
4.When I'm driving and start to brake i feel small jerking(a few times) before coming to a complete stop
5.(last one) The car itself does'nt ride smooth. When I press on the gas it kind of takes the car a sec to read that I'm accelerating and the car itself is just bumpy like it has bad suspension.

SORRY ITS SO LONG. Thanks guys!

1. Your fuel pump may be getting weak, or a bad fuel pressure regulator. Check fuel pressure at the fuel rail, and also pull the vacuum hose off the regulator to see if there is gas inside (sign of a torn regulator diaphragm).
2. Still could be a leak you haven't found yet.
3. Yes.
4. Brake pads may be worn down (metal on metal), or rotor(s) are warped.
5. See #1
