Default 57 Chevy with LQ$

I am currently in the process of converting a 57 Chevy 2dr ht with a TPI/T56 system to a LS1/4L60E type installation. I have the LS6 intake, retaining the LQ4 coils and am installing the LS Corvette accessory drive (less the A/C components). I have several questions that I have not been able to find the answers to with "search". Any help would be appreciated.

1. Will the stock LQ4 exhaust manifolds work with the stock frame and a 605 steering box?

2. If the will, does anyone know how much the engine must be moved forward or backward to clear?

3. Will the stock LQ4 oil pan clear the stock non power steering linkage? I realize the pan will be low but the car has not been lowered.

4. Will standard Corvette coil covers work with the LQ4 truck coils?
