Default 95 LT1 in 95 V6 Compatibility Questions?

Posting this for a friend. He has a 95 v6 a4 car and has been looking to put something else into it for minimal cost. Well recently he found a good canidate locally for a really good price. Here's my questions and what I know.

1. Do the front drive accesories off of the v6 work on the LT1?
2. Radiator and fan assembly compatibility v6 to LT1?
3. V6 converter work for LT1, I know the trans will?
4. Gauges and accesory compatibilty with LT1 harnesses in place of V6?
5. Fuel tank and fuel pump, what's needed?
6. Will the driveshaft out of the V6 work?
7. Anything else.
8. We should be able to get most everything from the same guy, so what all do we need?

I know this is most likely a swap tech thread, but I decided it might get some responses here too. Thanks for the help.

NO
2. Radiator and fan assembly compatibility v6 to LT1?
NO
3. V6 converter work for LT1, I know the trans will?
Trans wont work either
4. Gauges and accesory compatibilty with LT1 harnesses in place of V6?
To do it right you need to change the Chassie and engine harness. Thou with my experance with an LS1 swap The wiring for the same year was close.
5. Fuel tank and fuel pump, what's needed?
may work for stock LT1
6. Will the driveshaft out of the V6 work?
It will but it is weak.
7. Anything else.
Not worth it unless you get a donor car
8. We should be able to get most everything from the same guy, so what all do we need?
Drivetrain
Engine harness would be best to have the chassie harness
Radiator & fans

don't forget a LT1 k-member and i would assume power steering rack as well. he may even need to change springs and shocks considering the extra heft of supporting an iron block V8. basically, you need the car the engine came out of to do it easily.

Thanks for the help guys. We might be able to get the car from the guy, only thing I know we can't get is the trans. Hopefully it will work out.
