you`ll need the pedal box with clutch cylinder and reserviour and you will also need to bypass the starter inhibitor which stops you starting in gear, i think you can follow the wiring back and take out the small loom and plug the two ends together iirc.

Presume you mean which diff. LSD would be nice but not essential.
3.64 diff would be about right.
