Default Fluid change?

Hi. I am going to cahnge all the fluids in my 73 vette.

Annyone now the difrent volumes of fluid to be changed?

When changing the fluid on the automatic transmission, How is i supsed to do this and getting everyting out. Including thr converter??????

Do i need to change any filters exept the oil filter for the engine???


(I have bought a old car without any documention, But everything is running perfect, 69k on the sppedo. Witch i asume to be corect because the original brakes still was sitting on the rear)

Any other tips to a lucky put unexperienced corvette ovner would be apprciated!!

Thanks
