Might be hanging on the pilot bearing . I'd probably take a close look at the end of the input shaft for wear and replace the pilot bearing while you have it apart .
As for getting it apart , you might need to use a pry bar or large screw driver to pry between the front of the trans and the bellhousing to help it out but make sure you have a hold of the trans when you do this in case it just slips out really easy .

Damn you are screwed ....... The cost of those two gears alone new are going to be damn close to what you can find a used one for .
Do the gears look like they are blued and layed over or do they look like shiny breaks where the teeth use to be ?
Basic list of parts you will need at the minimum :
LT1 input shaft
Cluster gear
complete bearing kit
Steel 3/4 fork
syncros through out the unit
fork inserts for 1/2 , 5/6 & reverse
Very possibly a 3/4 slider assembly if the gear got into the hub and did damage

Is the other unit an LT1 ? If so and its not from a 93 model car , then you are good to go . The way you described the damage really sounds like the unit was run low on fluid . How much did you drain out ?
