This is a very common swap and more like a upgrade as all of the parts can be found in the GM parts dept. or in any junk yard.
Your best bet would be to find a junk doner and that way you could remove everything from it and then just replace the parts on your car. You would need everything from the radiator, fans, front accessories, electrical, wiring harness's, PCM, lines. Yes granted you can modify some of your existing parts. But using the later F-Body parts would just make a cleaner installation.
If you could get the LT4 cheap or do the LT4 top end, yes it could be easier and most likely cheaper in the long run. But Hey, its your choice.
Try searching and you will find may early (92-97) Gen 4 F-Body swap.
