What you need:

Minimum:
LS1 Motor Mounts
-to mount the Gen III

LS1 Trans Crossmember
-to mount the tail shaft of the trans, sits farther back then a T5 or 700r4

LS1 Conversion harness
-to make the LS1 ECM/Motor work properly in a 3rd gen

Adjustible Fuel Pressure Regulator (Aeroquip 13109 Fuel Regulator is recommended)
-the LS1 uses static line pressure, no return off the fuel rail, you need to regulate the fuel pressure prior to it entering the fuel rail

VATS Module
-to eliminate the VATS system on the LS1(I'm going to look into if there is a way to intergrate the stock 3rd gen VATS into the LS1 swap,

Tach Signal Interface
-to get the stock 3rd gen tach to work with the LS1 tach output signal

Electronic to Mechanical Speedometer Box
-is needed for the stock speedo to work on 89 and prior Camaros and 86 and prior T/As

High output Fuel Pump(recommended on tpi)
-the LS1 runs at a higher fuel pressure then TPI, its recommended that the feul pump be replaced with a higher output unit to prevent over working the stock pump and possibly starving the motor of fuel, TBI you must upgrade the pump

Custom Y-pipe
-will be need to connect the LS1 manifold to the factory 3rd gen exhaust

LS1 ECM
-no 3rd gen ECM can be made to run an LS1,

LS1 (complete with accesories)
-no engine parts are compatible between stock 3rd gen motors and LS1's, the 3rd gen A/C compressor can be used if conversion brackets are purchaced
