: You also might want to take the driveshaft, as I believe, according to the FAQ section, the end that attaches to the rear end is different for the 9" rear. Correct me if I'm wrong.

: : : Righty.. due to the precarious nature of the doner (it might be shipped off anytime soon) I am thinking of having the nessesary parts removed and stored before it goes...
: : : WHAT will I have to take off of it to save myself headache later on... the doner is a '74 disc all around (with the beautiful 9" rear which I'm also aquiring) and Alice is a 69.5...
: : : Also considering taking the front springs too....
: : : ( I want to do this pre swap as I want to be sure the rotors ar clean ect)
: : : take the whole rearend assmb. including leaf springs. In the front take from the spindles out, including the spindles. And hoses, brake masterclyinder, propotioning valve also. Springs only if changing engine sizes. Don't forget the brake pedal to "just in case" they're diffferent ratios.
...to be used to plug the tranny when the shaft is out of it. Keep the part in front of the u-joint that slides into the tranny.
