Default 1977 u joint and trans kickdown calbe

Hello, I am looking at buying a 1977 corvette. The U-joints and trans kickback calbe need to be replaced. Does anyone know if this is easy to do? I just dont want to buy it and have to take apart the whole car.
Thanks for looking.

U joints are easy to replace (do all 6 while you are at it) and they are available locally or at one of the sights on the left. Not sure where to get the kick down cable, willcox probably has it and it is easy to replace.
