For MT, most people use t56. TR6060's and TKO's get used, rarely.

The frs differential is very robust.

Power steering is electric and self-contained. It needs a few ECU signals to start and work.

Stock returnless fuel system can be used, with a pump change only necessary for peak flow. There are plenty of pumps available off-the-shelf.

There is plenty of space for a sufficient radiator... The stock A/C system needs 2 new compressor lines, but can otherwise be completely reused.

Weight increase is negligible.

The car needs only 1 sheetmetal mod in the transmission tunnel. It involves cutting a few spot welds and throwing away a small stamped steel brace, which can be replaced.
Thanks for clearing this up I really appreciate it... I have put some thought into to it and have put aside 7 grand for this project. I want to to do a LS1 swap but finding the right mechanic to do it is my only issue
