Default 5.3 to ls1

Ok guys, I am going to be swapping out the 5.3 out of a 1999 1500 Siverado for a ls1 and wanted to know if there is anything that I will need to complete the swap. The injectors and map sensors are different if I'm not mistaken, but if I just swap out the longblocks and reuse all the truck stuff (sensors, accessories, harness, ECM etc...), it should be a straight bolt on shouldn't it? I would appreciate any help or advice anyone can give me.

Longblock swap you change nothing but the tune

All externals and sensors swap over directly

Ok, that's what I thought. If I decided to use the ls1 intake, tb, inj., then I would have to use a ls1 harness, is that correct?
