Sounds like a cool swap...aside from the previously mentioned PCM and harness, I'm going to guess that you'll need custom motor mounts (there are companies who offer swap mounts), a modified tranny crossmember and I'm assuming shortened driveshaft, and hopefully someone can chime in on the exhaust, as far as what headers will work if any. You could try LS1Tech in the conversions and hybrids section (I think that's what it's called), there's a lot of LSx swap info there
