Default A4 to M6 Swap

Hey guys, have a question. I am going to do the conversion weekend after next and I would like to know if I need to modify the drive shaft at all in order for it to mate to the output shaft on the T-56. Or would I need a driveshaft off an M6 car? Your knowledge is much appreciated.

Its a '95 Z28 and I think the trans is out of a '95-'96 Z28. Will there be other problems? TIA

You shouldn't have any problems. Here's a site with everything you'll need to do: http://www.afrashteh.com/tranny_pics/T56.htm
I did mine about a month ago, and it was easy. Finished in a day with only one person helping.
