Default 1974 Trans Am questions

Just curious on the little differences that make the 74 unique.
Also, to convert an auto to a correct 74 4 speed, are almost all/ all of the parts available as reproductions?
Thank you!

Last year for the 'small' rear window, but 1st year for the front/rear bumper change. (non-urethane and non-chrome)
1st year for the long tail lights.
Last year for the SD 455. ()

Not sure but I think the shifter button was the pontiac crescent. Last year for true dual exhaust.

Front grills are unique to 74. 75 changed to 100MPH speedometer. Last year for flat floorpan (no hump for cat converter).

74 was the last year for that style interior door handle and escutcheon, 75 went to a different style handle and escutcheon. The interior side of the door structure changed in 75
