BCG,

"when i remove the auto flywheel bolts, i use a quick hammer blow to loosen. i'll see how i can lock the engine. belts are off."

Use the old rope trick in number #1 cylinder to hold the engine in place.

"question about hex bolt.
1. do you know what size hex key? i have metric, and i can bring them all, just in case."

No I do not. It is on the larger side.

":next is the flywheel and the pedal box. is the pedal box difficult to remove? i've read to go through the dash to get to some of the bolts."

Yes, in my opinion, the pedal box is a PITA to remove and install, thus the reason that I remove the dash. It doesn't take the long, and its just easier.

If the car has cruise, get all of those odds and ends too.

"questions on the pedals.
1. the gas pedal doesn't have to change out, only the brake pedal, correct?"

No gas pedal needed

"2. i see that the clutch pedal has bolts too, is the 240 pre-threaded for the clutch pedal bolts?"

All 240's are set up for a manual, so all the holes are already there.
