Default C3 doing LSX conversion....need help with flywheel / clutch install

I've got a 72 Auto Coupe that I'm converting to an LS3 / Keisler 5 spd. Here's my link if your interested:

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c3-g...od-thread.html

The area that I need help on is installing the flywheel, clutch, and bellhousing. I bought the entire kit from Keisler, but there's no manual for removing the existing parts (set up for auto), and installing the new ones. I've got all of the parts + an alignment tool. I need help...

Here's where I'm starting:
ENGINE


Fly Wheel


Clutch



Bellhousing


I've also bought the willwood hydraulic clutch kit to replace the mechanical z-bar style that was typical on my car. I've got the instructions for that part of the job.

I need to know what are the steps for R&R the existing parts, and installing the new ones. Any help would be appreciated. I'm a rookie with this kind of stuff, so I don't want to screw up my new investments.
