acman60, I merged your duplicate threads into one to prevent confusion.

Good luck with your Vette!

You're going to need a pedal setup, clutch linkage, bell housing, tranny, check your block to see if there is a tapped hole for the linkage, should be but not all blocks have it.
Are you going for a complete 5 spd kit?
Your diff probably has 308 gears with the base setup you have. Check on the gearing of the tranny you want to use.
 
Kiesler makes a automatic-to-manual transmission conversion kit. Supposedly, it has everything needed to do the switch over - including the console faceplate.

Check it out: http://www.keislerauto.com/gm/corvette-c3-kits.html

Good luck with your project.
