Late model Rear 944 Conversion question

Need some help.. As mentioned on another thread I am doing a 944 conversion onto a 78 vert.. I am using 87+ Aluminum arms and components for this conversion.. The parts are from a N/A porsche with a AL arms. THings I am unsure of that concern me are the following..

1- How to unload torsion bars off the 944 assembly that is sitting off the car and in my basement.. I thank everyone for the info on unloading the arms on the car but still confused on how to approach the ones off the car..

2- What parts actually transfer over.. The torsion bar housing (or what ever it is called), the arms with brakes attached..
My question is do I remove the torsion bar tube on the beetle and replace with 944 assembly or just the arms and brakes.

3- What parts do I need.. I understand that I need the Spring Plate bushing for a beetle. Do I need anything else..

4-OPTIONS for emergency brakes.. MBT, or Kersher. Or are there other options.. I know there are threads so I will follow up with some research on that.. But is there anything That I should know that may benifit me and others..

5- How do I index the torsion bars once I reasemble.. DO I use the vw or 944 torsion bars?

If anyone has a thread on a step by step or any info please feel free..

PS HELP. Don't want to hurt myself.. as this can be slightly dangerous with the torsion bars under load..
