Yes, you do need to search. Go to Advanced Search, enter "4l80E swap" and select the Automatic Transmission forum. There currently are 250 threads.
This is one of the most comprehensive ones:

This one starts with the question of what year:
https://ls1tech.com/forums/automatic...99-camaro.html
In short (and not exactly accurate):
* Pretty much any year, you need a 2WD version; pre 99 often preferred.
* Probably needs a rebuild with some performance parts and billet input shaft, especially if over 750hp
* Need a quality converter (about $1000)
* Lots of threads have crossmember suggestions
* Different yoke; might want a new driveshaft
* Changes needed to the wiring harness; many options described in threads
* Segment swap and/or other software/tuning changes to the PCM
The PCM changes are extensively covered in this thread, with the latest info near the end:
https://ls1tech.com/forums/automatic...-required.html
I know people have done the swap on a shoe string, but if I were to do it, I would budget $4000 for it.
Once you get up to speed on the basics, post your more specific questions.
