Default Swapping a 5.3 into a 2000 z28 ?

Im looking into building a turbo set up for a Camaro, and Id like to drop a 5.3 into a 2000 z28. It seems pretty straight forward, just have a few questions.

Do all the accesories from the ls1 bolt up to the 5.3 motor?

Other then switching the intakes as well, is that the only things needed to complete the swap?

You need to drill/tap a hole for the alternator mount

Like mentioned above..the only thing that you will have to do it Drill/Tap that hole for the Alternator mount. Everything else is exactly the same.

why would you go with less cubic inches? if you want a cheap iron block get a 6.0
