Default T56 into 72 Chevelle

I am putting an LS2 and a T56 into my chevelle, I have got everything in and fitted and am ready to start running the clutch and hydraulic master cylinder. My car is a automatic and going to the t56 requires some changes. Any tips on a kit to purchase to turn my auto into a 6 speed?

If there is no kit or it is more expensive than just buying individual parts, what all would I need? Thanks for the input.

Also, what wiring is everyone using on the swaps? I have the ECU with the motor already. Thanks

I modified the F body harness that came with my motor. For the clutch you can purchase a clutch pedal assembly for about $100. I used the factory f body clutch master with a bracket I purchased on ebay that bolts behind the brake booster. Once I had the master and pedal installed I figured out where I had to weld a tab on to the pedal for the linkage to connect at the correct angle. You can probably see most of it in my build thread. My car is older, but still very similar.

Just for the sake of clarity, what is in and fitted and what remains left to do? I guess I'm just not sure exactly where you are progress wise and what sort of kit you might be asking about. I mean which specific problems are you trying to solve. It's hard to convey tone in forums and I'm not being critical; there are tons of options for most things so having more info will let us point you in the right direction.
NSS and reverse lockout are two of the electrical things to figure out and there are multiple ways to handle them when you get to them.
