Default T56 swap help

I know this has probably been gone over a million times but I am having trouble finding answers to some of my questions. I currently have a 468 BB Chevy motor 2 piece main block with about 600hp. I have a turbo 400 in the car now but just bought a 2001 Camaro T56. I plan on cruising the car but will obviously drive it hard once and a while. I have a 12 bolt rear end with 4.30 gears and an Auburn Possi.

So here's my questions. I was looking to go with a Quick Time Bell Housing (part#RM-6023) but I have nothing else. I want to go with a 168 tooth flywheel and a reasonably priced clutch set up. I don't know which clutch and throw out bearing to go with. Are they all pretty straight forward, in other words can I just order an 11" clutch assembly and throw out bearing for a 2001 Camaro or do I need a special conversion type? I have heard a lot of good and bad comments regarding clutches and throw out bearings but most of the post I have found are pretty old so I'm sure there has been a lot of changes in parts for this set up. Any information would be greatly appreciated as I'm pretty much ready to start the install.
