Default ls1 into a 88 t/a.. any advice

im getting a 88 trans am roller. and i still have my ls1 out of my 98 t/a and thought it would be pretty easy and cheap to throw it together.. few questions though..

1. what do i do about the harness? im keeping the harness in my 98 so i was thinking about getting a 99+ harness since they are easier to find.. but what will i have to do to get it to run in the older car? and ill be running a 60e in it to.

2. what exhaust will work with this? i have the old manifolds and y pipe but dont know if either of them will work.. is there special made exhaust for this?

3. what all things need changed? im doin this on a low budget.. so do i have to put in a new k member or can i get away with just aftermarket mounts?

4. will the stock torque arm work? im assuming the driveshaft length will be stock length.

any and all advice is appreciated thanks

Read the LS1 sticky on TGO

All of that is covered in great detail
