Correct.

That will work. Are you using a 13B turbo or NA flywheel? Not sure what the diameter of the 12A ring gear is off the top of my head, but I'm guessing the 12A and 13B NA are the same. If that's true, and you have NA stuff, you could run any mixture of the parts. If you're bolting up a turbo flywheel you will need to use a turbo trans. Basically, the bellhousing needs to match the diameter of the ring gear so the starter will engage.

Lastly, kinda obvious, you will need to use a clutch that matches the flywheel/trans combo and not the engine.
