Default I took my Ls1 out and now I have a bunch of extra bolts! Help

I took my Ls1 out of my 2000 Trans Am about 8 months ago. Because of family issues and financial issues I was not able to put it back in immediately, I finally have everything to do so, but I have on big problem that makes my stomach turn. I probably have 20 bolts or so that does not have labels on them, I have a book but that about it.Are there any REALLY detailed step by step instructions on putting this back. Or else I could take pictures of the bolts and you guys MIGHT be able to help me out? I'm scared and nervous guys! lol Thanks again

Pic's would help-I would walk backwards through the install. with that many bolts left over, unless you replaced some bolts you should have some parts still laying on the floor.

Take some pics of the bolts like Anthony mentioned. Sometimes you can tell where they belong by the size, shape, etc., of the bolt itself.
