You will need Manual Pedals..and yes the complete LS1 Hydraulic System & Clutch setup. Look for a Speed Bleeder while you are at it. The LS1 T56 will bolt right up, just use the LT1 T56 Crossmember.

You will have to build your own Harness..I kept the interior all stock when I swapped my 1995 car.
Here is a thread that will help..many links in there.

Hopefully one of the mods will move this to the conversions section..lots more help there.

So you plan on installing entire dash from an LS transam?? Not sure if that will bolt into your camaro or not. I swapped the entire dash from my 01 camaro into my 96 just because I hate the gauges on 93-96 camaro's. Change you heater core while its readily accessible..

no. lt1 pedals work fine. my 93 z28 ls swap has been done since 2005 with zero issues running lt1 pedals.
