Default 1998 Camaro ss A4 to T56 Conversion HELP

I have a 98 ss A4 that i want to convert to a t56. I tried searching for the threads but didnt find anything detailed enough. Exactly what do i NEED, anything and everything to do the swap? how easy or difficult is the swap and about how long does it take if you do it yourself or if you pay someone at a shop. anything i need to look for when buying a conversion kit used(bolt patterns) any year differences etc. thanks for the help!

Best part of the article is that they tell you where you can get all needed parts. And their list is most complete I've seen.

find a crashed donner car and just pull out what you need, just some of the parts..:

Brake/clutch pedal's
Clutch master
everything from the flywheel/bellhousing back, xmember, driveshaft, torque arm
Center console parts, shifter

wiring harness for a M6 or modify one, Flash the PCM with one from a T56 car.

Backup switch, Skip shift solenoid, reverse lockout solenoid,

and don't forget to put a pilot bearing in. Your A4 doesn't use one..

well.. you get the idea.. everythng is also listed at your local dealer.
