I've been really tied up with my own build, trying to clear out the garage (extra parts). Although, you ARE right I am currently pursuing other career opportunties. I'm hoping for everything to pan out!
I think I can speak on behalf of some of the forum members when I say, "we want it all"!

I used a new LS7 clutch that I had laying around. Bought a Fidanza billet FW. Thought I would be saving money down the road with using what I had in front of me. I need about 1/4" to make a hydralic TB work and about the same to swap to a pull style using a fork. I knew it when I bought the FW but I didnt listen to myself. Clutches arent cheep but I want one that will last and eazy on the leg.

regarding the clutch and transmission adaptor issues, Bill (zfdoc.com) ended up using a bell housing off the F-body LS-x cars and an adaptor plate to merry it to the Zf transmission (his own design using a GM TO bearing). He uses a ZR1 input shaft for the ZF6 (really the only "catch), and is using ALL the standard GM equipment (including GM application clutch assembly- I believe Zo6). Master cylinder is replaced with a larger diameter unit to support the pedal travel, disengagement of clutch assembly.
I'm just suggesting this to others who might be interested or even to the OP.

I have been talking to some clutch ppl. Didnt know that Spec is just down the road about a hour. Sounds like a road trip to me. Act has the T1SR that looks good.

Wilwoods 6/4 with 14" rotors. I wanted 16" rotors with a lil larger caliper but the money difference was way to much. I can live with these. Either C6 booster or hydroboost.

Where is the bellhousing from? how about a parts list on this zf to lsx?
Ok, I see the original info, so bump this question.
Tell me about the A/C pump? How is the fit or mod?

It is either 9.3 or 9.5. That one in the pic is the front.
