Been working on a lot of tedious stuff and had to wait for a bushing to come in, but the clutch is adjusted, back-lock installed correctly (I think).
I found the 73 Firebird LH exhaust manifold is almost identical (clearance-wise) to the 71 GT-37 off the 350. So I decided to use the 73 manifold because it's a little more open and closer to the RH manifold in that respect. I removed them both and painted, the reinstalled with new gaskets.
Today I also installed the repaired radiator support. Seems okay so far but need to get the header panel and fenders on before I make adjustments and see how well everything lines up..
Also working on getting the seatbelt bolts beside the front seat out...making progress slowly. I work it back and forth and loosen about 1/16 at a time so I don't snap them. Using lots of P Blaster! Soon I will begin repairing the holes in the floor.
I ordered a new front lighting harness and am waiting for that. Once I get it I will install that and engine harness and gauge hookups.
