You should get hoses from a LS1 car.

Definitely use the banjo bolts for the hoses from the LS-1 calipers,they are a different thread.Everything else you have listed will work.

If i remember correctly, you also need the little brackets that hold the hose to the k member from an ls1 car. It seems like my lt1 brackets wouldnt fit the ls1 hose angle right or something... I just remember having a problem with that.

Don't forget the PABs.

Have you ruled out the C5 kit? It would probably be cheaper.
