Default 1967 Camaro Small block T56 Swap Help

My 4 speed Saginaw is not cutting it and I am ready to put the time in for the swap. I have heard a few ways of doing the swap, but wanted you guys opinion on the cheapest/best way to go about this. I have a LT1 T56 pending sale with slave, dual friction clutch, B&M shifter, & bellhousing $1000. I take it I will need to fab a new crossmember and a plate for the slave to mount to the firewall, shorten driveshaft, speedo cable. Do I use a stock sb flywheel with the LT1 clutch and anything else I need?

No, use a 93-97 F-body flywheel for 86-up SBC
Use a Spec, CenterForce or others for 85-down 2pc. seal engines. (I have one in the classifieds that was never run; just mocked up)

I usually keep the G Force crossmember in Stock for the T56 in that car if you need!
