What a day. Read everything I could find here plus my service manual. Here’s what I learned:

1. There are 8 bolts holding the cradle to the frame, not 6 like my manual shows. It’s a wonder we didn’t break the cradle in the 3 hours we spent fighting with it before we found the two front bolts hidden by the brake ducts.

2. The pins holding the shifter in place weren’t as bad as I thought. Definitely need 2 people.

3. The flywheel is extremely heavy. Excited to see how the aluminum Katech flywheel does.

4. The slave cylinder from GM no longer has a bleed port. I found the old one in stock at Tick Performance. I already had the Katech remote bleed cable so I definitely wanted to use it.

Since I have to wait on the slave cylinder we are done for now. Long day.
