What you need to do is start attending meets and...err... meet people
the 626 meet is one of the larger one where a few of the old school heads still attend
I'd start there

meet people, read as much as you can and if you aren't a complete jackass someone will be willing to help

mind you, $1100 is a very fair price
if you consider the amount of work that's involved

go to the junk yards on a 1/2 off day
you could probably get the transmission and pedals for a couple of hundred dollars
I'd get a new master and slave cylinder, flywheel bolts - oem preferably
I'd also go for a new clutch kit - exedy one is pretty cheap

I'd be surprised if you could do all this under $500 imo.
Trust me, I've done and been involved in quite a few swaps and in my experience
it always ends up costing you more if you cut corner and cheap out on parts.
