Auto to manual , pilot bearing question

Well, next year or so I'm doing a V8 swap. A mild 318 or stock 360. I already have to do the hump, the pedals, etc. figured I'd enjoy it while getting 1/2 the job done. I have 2.76,3.23, 3.55, and 3.91 gears sitting in the shop. So it's not like I am married to this gear that's in it now.
