No there isn't a PDF available, but there is  some info on our web page:
http://www.bricklin.org/TechCentral/TCFAQ.htm

Yes, the club sells them through Bricklinalia.  There were hardcopy 
and ones on a
thumb drive.

There are only 2 engines to choose from AMC 360s in the 74s and Ford 351s in
the 75 & 76s.  So it depends on if you're an AMC or Ford guy.  As to trannys,
the Ford only has the FMX unless it has been updated with an AOD.  The 74s
you have a choice of the manual only about 75 built and rare or the chrysler
automatic.

An air lean in the doors are your least problem.  Again read the FAQ 
and then ask
some more questions.
