You will probably still need the buffer box to get the right signal to the new speedo.

A wiring diagram of the Firebird would be helpful since most of the stuff you have is from that car.

If you prefer, here's one on CD. Others are available but somewhat pricey.

Why don't you just swap over the PCM and TPI harness and leave your mechanical speedo in place
