Help new clutch!!! 
I just recently bought a new RAM CLUTCH WON'T BE HERE FOR ANOTHER 5 DAYS, I DRIVE A 2001 TRANS AM LS1 6SPD WITH 110,000 MILES WITH A BIG CAM AND HAD WORK DONE!!!! THE PART NUMBER FOR THE CLUTCH IS 98931HD, ORDERED OFF OF WS6STORE! I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS SUCH AS, CAN I USE STOCK FLYWHEEL? DO I NEED TO CHECK OR ADD ANYTHING ELSE TO CAR BEFORE REPLACING??? SHOULD I JUST HAVE FLYWHEEL RESURFACED OR BUY A NEW ONE? AHH HELP OR INFO, WILL AND WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED! THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!

Whether or not the flywheel needs anything done...depends on the condition of the flywheel.
And how much will vary around the country...world...and depend on exactly what they do !
And it would be common to replace the slave cylinder whilst in there replacing a clutch

FW re-surface typically costs $40 ish. If it has been resurfaced before and/or has bad heat spots/cracks than replace.
Any new clutch install should have either a resurfaced or new FW...
If slave is original with 110k mi...yes replace that as suggested. Replace/bleed hydraulic fluid
Clean splines on tranny input shaft well before clutch install.
