Ok so i purchased a great motor and its bone stock out of a 92 earlier model GST. The injectors are 380's i believe and the auto cams are different i think. I have a 95 GST and i have a 94 4g63t 6 bolt swap already done to her. So everything on that motor is good besides the head and block. I plan on taking everything over from my blown motor(accesories) and on to the new one. So what all do i have to change over due to the fact the motor is coming out of a 92 automatic? How hard is it to put my cams in? thanks so much for any information.

False. The '94 4g63t was a 7-bolt. 6-bolts stopped coming in first generation cars in mid '92.
But we'll just say you do have a 6-bolt. All accessories should mate. Make sure you keep the flywheel (assuming your 95 is a 5-spd); it will bolt right up. Assuming the head is of the car - Each cam is held in by 5 or 6? aluminum brackets in the head (under the valve cover) labeled I1-I5 and E1-E6 for intake and exhaust respectively. You simply unbolt all these brackets and try to get them off. I have found it useful in the past to turn the camshaft after loosening all the brackets. It should pop most of them up. You may consider replacing the cam seals while you are at it. It would be very worth your time. So take out the cams, put in the manual ones, bolt and torque the brackets back down evenly.
The injectors are not much different. Unbolt the fuel rail, pull the small injectors out and place the new ones in. You might look into replacing all the injector seals where you are in there. No point in doing the job twice if you can do it right once. So again, assuming you do have a 6-bolt, everything else should be a simple bolt up/hook up affair.
Hope that helps.
 
Thanks. And yes i meant to say the motor was a 92 six bolt. Typos! And yes the car is a manual. This should be fun....Now if im wrong and the motor is a damn 7-bolt bc me and a frind did the swap. i know we followed v-faq to doing the 6 bolt so im just assuming it is. I remember having to get the 6 bolt fly wheel. But again thanks. Uf it is a 7 bolt wheel i need the 6 bolt flywheel. This is mainly a what if question

7-bolt and 6-bolt flywheels are non-interchangeable. One has holes for 7 bolts, the other for 6 bolts. Sounds like you have everything else covered. Good luck!
