Jon,
Adult beverages were a key part of the repair!
I got the car all back together and cleaned up today and it runs great. Ace came through on the CPS bolt (I don't go there very often so had forgotten how extensive their nuts and bolts section is). It was nearly an all day task getting the car back together since I needed to fix the tranny vacuum line and do some other "while your at it" tasks, but it was a satisfying fix and now I have a new trick up my sleeve for broken/stripped bolts. Also good to get the car with the coldest R12 AC back on the road in the Houston summer.
Now if I could just find time for the 89 transmission swap...
