I see you used the f-body manifolds. Those are camaro manifolds correct? i know thats a silly question but i cant find any online. Did you just go to the junk yard and yank them yourself or buy them online?

And also do those manifolds clear the slave cylinder? If you have any picks i would definitely appreciate that
Thanks. I had my manifolds laying around, they were off of my 99 Z28, and should be fairly easy to find on ebay etc. I would go with the 2000 - 2002 to avoid having to plug the air and egr ports. I am using a hydraulic throwout bearing so I did not run into any clearance issues, it does look like the driver side F-body manifold will give you room, here are a few pics, hope it helps.

Thank you.
