Answer 1

You'll be better off buying a rebuilt unit.

Answer 2

Ring gear, pinion gear, carrier, spider gears, crush sleeve, pinion bearing, carrier bearings, C-clips, axle shafts, axle bearings, pinion and axle seals. That vintage camaro should be plentiful in salvage yards by now and they should be able to tell you the code for your gear ratio on the sticker either in the glove box or inside a door pillar so then you can buy an identical one. Swapping gears will play with your speedometer and odometer but measures can be taken to remedy that if you wanted a different ratio. This would also be more economical than rebuilding unless it's a car you would be willing to put that expense into. You could wind up with over $400 in parts then add labor.

Then there is an axle going to each wheel and Rubber seal to hold in the Lubricate.
The Big gear you see is driven by a smaller gear connected to the Drive Shaft from the Transmission.
