Default a few 3.8 v6 to ls1 ?'s

my brother has an ls1 out of a 99 t/a and he wants to swap it into his 98 3.8 v6 camaro a4. will the 4l60e and torque convertor from the v6 bolt up to the ls1? can he get a pcm and an engine harness out of any year ls1 a4 and just hook it right up? what about the k member, would you just change the motor mounts? would anything need to be done with the fuel system? if theres anything else we're missing or will need, please let me know. thanks.

Keep diggin around on here, there are quite a few posts on this To answer a few of your questions though, the trans wont work from the 3.8 to the LS. The harnesses are NOT "plug-n-play". Kmember/rack/steering shafts are different. pm me if you have any more ???
