Default what needs to be done to a lt1 t56 to mate to ls1

I have a '94 t-56 that I'm thinking about puting behind my small block. Also I'm thinking about a ls1 swap and wondered what needs to be done to get the lt1 trans to bolt to a ls1.

The input shaft is a different lenght in the Lt1 unit from the LS1 unit and thus requires a LS1 bellhousing . The other most notable thing is the type of clutch setup . Lt1 used a fork and the Ls1 has the internal slave cylinder .

also the front plate of the tranny case is different, the LT1 unit does not have a mount fot the throwout bearing. the input shaft is about 3/4in too long in the LT1 unit and the bellhousing is different.
