Unless you can find someone to help you master the standalone FI system then go with what you know for now. Why keep something that will just aggravate you while on the side of the track instead of just enjoying yourself driving on it.
I work mostly on commercial Maytag and Dexter equiptment but if it'll just drain it usually means that the bearing in the tranny is shot. On Maytags it will spin clockwise to wash then counter clockwise to drain indicating the whole tranny has to be replaced or in your case the drive. The bearing on the washers in our equipment was designed so you have to replace the whole unit because it takes too much time to replace the bearing itself. Hope it helps give you an idea.

I had a Fairmont once similar to that one, 4 drs., 4spd manual, 6cyl., 200 cu.in, and single barrell Holley totalling 90 h.p. baby! Then someone turned left infront of me and totalled it.
Well, it's a price you had to pay for your sanity, too bad you didn't have a happy ending. How much you wanna bet the car is just going to end up in craigslist real cheap.
