Check out my build thread. It will answer most of your questions.

I used the AutoKraft pan, but have contact with the inner tie rods. I did the swap back in 2008, so the new Holley pan was not available. If it was, I would use it.
You can use the Legend trans, but will have to decide what you want to do for clutch actuation. Most likely, you will want to convert to a hydraulic set-up. My build thread has one option.

Cool. I talked with speartech and they can make the harness any length I want for about $1000 or I can go with a PSI harness for about half of that. Only catch is that the PSI harness has to go through the firewall. I still need to get over the phobia of cutting into the firewall. I have a regular heater box and may upgrade to AC in the future. Not sure on that one yet, so if I go through the firewall, I have to pick a spot that will clear the factory box and the vintage air box.
