Hi Wildman,

The perfect set-up for your car would be from a 1978 to 1981 Malibu, El Camino or Le mans with a three or four speed set-up from the factory. I haven't seen a manual factory Olds from the G-body era, but it would be cool. If you could find a complete set-up from a parts car it would give you everything that you would need. The steering column is different as well. I have owned a few of these cars and it's a neat set-up. I have a friend who has switched his Malibu over to a four speed and he bought a 1980 Grand Le Mans from a wrecking yard to get everything that he needed for the swap.
Good Luck.

Barry
