Thanks for the feedback. I have been reading your builds/threads. Very interesting and good information also!
I think I will end up using an original 1st gen 4wd getrag/205 combo. That seems to be most reasonable as many have done when keeping a pass side drop in the old Chev's. For now I will continue on with the 2wd rag. It will be easy at any time to convert my trans with a 4wd shaft and tailhouse and 205.
If I can find parts and such or complete 205 for a divorced setup for reasonable money, well we'll see.
