Default 4L80E swap..Questions

Think i have it figured out but have a few questions, and yes i know there is a search function but after hours of search, yes i still have questions.

Burnt out the 3-4 on a 60e so I will be swapping and dont want it down for more then a weekend as a dd, since i can make it to work and back on two gears

This is what I have found i need:

FLT 4L80E-4...Still wondering if i should get the billet input or not, info/input would help
15765623 Cover - bellhousing
15832205 Tube - dip stick tube
15183801 Indicator - dip stick
15013290 Bracket - shifter cable, Also be running a winters gate shifter so that covers the cable
6.0 Flexplate/spacer and TC bolts
32 spline T-case input shaft, new main seals
Tcase to xmsn adapter? don't know if FLT ships it with it
yank multidisk 3000 stall
Cross-member mod
Wiring harness from speartech
Tune I already got from BB
True cool oil cooler and brackets from Time2Kill,
Just need to figure out the line extension back at the xmsn

Dont see the rear drive-shaft being an issue with the lift

Main info links iv already read, to many to quote them all:
LS1 Truck
KySilverado

Am I missing something or am i on track?

And thanks for the smartass answers in advanced

You got picture or a write up on that? never built lines before. Running new full lines sounds nice. Also would i have to cut and flare the hardline to use that?

As for the TC it shouldn't be to hard to change the flex plate out, and its just one of those piece of mind things with the six vs three bolts back there.
