Default 96 Z28 LT1 swap to 90 C1500

Looking for as much info as I can on this swap. I am swaping out my v8 in my 90 c1500 p/u with an 96 Z28 LT1 motor and trans. Need help with wiring and clearances for ac compressor.

Doing a very similar swap for a friend right now. I'm putting a 96 LT1 from an F body into a 1988 SCSB 4x4. I had to notch the passenger side engine mount to clear the AC compressor and I also moved the AC compressor closer to the engine. Used the bottom hole then hinged the compressor towards the block and redrilled 2 new holes. Made small link bars and spacer for the top hole so the compressor is still connected to the stock top hole. Put long tubes on for the truck. Used F body trans and just had the output shaft changed. I could probably get a couple pics of where the install is right now as the front clip is pulled off of the truck....
