Default 6.0 swap questions

im not sure if this is the correct forum to post this in so if i am wrong feel free to let me know.
should i use the harmonic balancer from the ls1 since im using the accessories from the ls1 or does the balancer only balance the crank. the motor going into it is a lq4
will i use the dipstick from the ls1 for the lq4... will the ls1 dipstick be accurate?
does anyone know if the ati balancer bolt is reusable
do i have to change motor mounts if so can i use the ls1 mounts?
are the flywheel bolts torque to yield or are they reusable?
this is going into a 2000 camaro z28 a4

Use the dipstick, windage tray, oil pickup, and oil pan from the ls1. The lq4 pan is too big and wont fit.

The only balancer bolt that I know of that is reusable is the ARP.

The ls1 motor mounts bolt right onto the lq4 block.

The flywheel bolts should be reusable.

The lq4 balancer is bigger and heavier if I am not mistaken.

I would use the ls1 balancer, or find a nice underdrive fluid-balancer from a sponsor for 150$ or so.

for saftey of mind i would buy new flywheel bolts and torque converter bolts if its an auto. if you feel safe re-using then do it. not that they are a must, but i like doing things once.
