Re: Clutch install
The stock install, including torque specs, is detailed in the 1996 factory manual, volume 1 of 2, part 2, section 7C. You can download a copy of the manual here:
LINK: 4TH GEN SERVICE MANUALS; 82-02 PARTS DIAG; 99-02 WIRING DIAG - Fourth Generation Pontiac Firebird (1993 - 2002) - Firebird Nation
Copy of chart from page 7C-14 below.
If you are installing an upgraded aftermarket kit, did it not come with instructions? May have different recommendations than the stocker.

Re: Clutch install
74 ft lbs for FW
22 ft lbs for PP
I don't know what "LS1" specs are...but these are TQ for LT1 clutch
DO NOT over TQ the PP bolts or you will have disengagement issues. PP bolts for LT1 are specific, not just any bolt. Use the factory ones or ARP now makes them
