I havent seen a swap in to an SN95 Mustang, only Fox Body. I imagine it's going to be a bit of a pain, and he'd better have the money for it. Engine mounts, K\A arms, wiring harness and new computer + new transmission as the Trem. in that V6 won't take the power (Or fit in to an LS1 at all) of the engine.

yea i told him that it want take the power he said o well it will take it till i tear something up, which will be pretty fast. But he is looking at an engine with the wiring harness tranny ecu and everything.
Im just worried about if there is going to be enough room for an ls1

if you have to ask how much trouble it is, you probably shouldnt be doing it (hate to be so blunt). spend more time searching around the internet and talk to people who have done it, i know its been done but dont have any direct resources for you.
