Default 68 camaro ls swap need help!!

Hey guys looking for some help on my new project. I have a 68 camaro it was originally a v6 car and someone put a v8 in it with a 3 speed manual. I recently purchased a motor/transmisson/harness and PCM out of a 99 camaro z28. I've read online for hours and I am confused on some things. Some people say use these mounts or those mounts with modified oil pans and unmodified oil pans. I am gonna stick with the manual steering and would like to use long tube headers. Summit racing offers a kit for $1200 with a oil pan headers,mounting plates and a crossmember. Has anyone used this kit? Need some advice from some guys who have been down this road please!

I went with a different mount kit. I would def suggest using headers from whoever you get your mounts from because they will guarantee them to fit with the stering box. I am waiting on my headers to come in. 1200$ doesn't seem like a bad price for what you're getting.
