Default Quick old LS1 swap ?

Are Ls1 swaps as easy as 6.0l swaps?

Anything out of the ordinary or additional stuff to buy?

Any reason to not do it and wait on a good 6.0l deal?

im just looking to have a 12 sec N/A truck

I found two things different. One is the A/C. There is one bolt on the a/c bracket that doesn't have a hole on the block. The others hold it on fine though.
The other thing is a hole on the back of the block. I think on the 5.3 it just mounts one of the ground wires. On the LS1 I just put it on the back of the head
