If your LQ9 throttle body came out of a 2007+ vehicle they are going to use a different connector on the throttle body. I know a guy local to me that ran into this working with a 2010 LS3 from a Camaro he had PSI make him a custom harness to deal with it.

On the Dirty Dingo conversion mounts, I used them on my car though it was not a regal they worked out great I did not have AC but could see they would leave clearance for it depending on how far forward or back you mount they. They have a lot of adjustability and allowed me to move the engine forward and back till I found the perfect position then just tighten them down. I did modify mine a bit as I had really narrow frame rails and their frame bolt holes were not narrow enough so I had to drill some new holes and cut off the ends of the mounts but it was no big deal. They do not come anywhere near the oil pan so you should not have any problem there.
