That oil pump description and the rocker ratio are for Generation I Small Block Chevy parts - you'll want a timing set for a Gen III. The LS2 timing set is an inexpensive upgrade if you don't need an adjustable set.

Also, keep your stock LS1 rocker arms. They are plenty strong, and as light as you'll find. Adding weight to the rockers can cost you more power than a roller tip is worth.

If you have specific valve events you are trying to hit (Intake Valve Closing, etc) then an adjustable timing set will either have multiple keyways or another method to allow you to dial in your timing exactly where you want it. Also, if you install the cam and the tolerances stack up in a manner that the cam is advanced or retarded by a couple degrees, you'll need some way to get it back where it belongs.
1. LS1 LS6 LS2 COMP CAM CAMARO FIREBIRD GTO 6.0 XR275HR
2. COMP CAMS LS1 TITANIUM VALVE SPRING RETAINERS #772-16
3. LS1 LS6 LS2 COMP CAMS VALVE SPRINGS 26918 Z28 HEMI 5.7
4. LS1 LS6 LS2 COMP CAMS HI-TECH PUSHROD 7.400 #7955-16
All of these items come straight off of page 189 in the 2010 Comp Catalog. Unless your heads have been milled, or you are running some odd size head gasket, the parts should work together just fine.
5. GM LS1 LS6 LS2 LS3 HEADERS GASKETS CAMARO FIREBIRD GTO
6. MELLING LS6 HIGH PRESSURE HV OIL PUMP CAMARO CORVETTE, 10296
7. MSD SUPER CONDUCTOR WIRES SILVERADO GMC 5.3 6.0 00-06
8. SPEC STAGE 3+ 98-02 CAMARO FIREBIRD T-56 LS1 LS6
9. ARP LS1, LS6 5.7L & 6.0L Balancer Bolt Kit
10. ARP SB Chevy LS1 Hi-Performance Rod Bot Kit
11. ATI Damper : 6.75 - AL - 6 SERP GRV - LS1 F BODY NO A/C PULLEY 3/8" HOLES
All of the other parts are obvioulsy for your application, so no reason why they shouldn't work together.
and what else do I need?
How much power does the engine have?
What else you need is anyone's guess. You're talking about a motor swap that will likely require a lot of custom fabrication - all gaskets, motor mounts, electrical, oil pan, headers, exhaust system, driveshaft, etc.

HP will be tough to fugure also - what year LS1 engine, details on the exhaust system, who is tuning it & how it is tuned, just to name a few.
