Ton's of foxbody swap threads!
But I will give you the run down that I have for my build.
If you have a complete drop out then your better off then most.
Because then you don't have to get the accessories, the trans, or the harness.
Now you will have to modify the harness for stand alone or to match up with the fox harness.
But with all of that being said.
Depending on your budget, just get the radiator from the z28 and fans.
Or buy a new one completely.
But you will need the k-member/mounts, trans crossmember, and driveshaft for the big things.
Other than that it is the little things.
Fuel lines, pump, filter, probably just use the gauges from the z28, headers or use manifolds and have the mid pipe made so on and so forth.
That's all based on you having the complete z28.

Those are the main sites that I use for parts.
First link is for the stand alone and such, second link has tons of great suspension very popular for this swap, and the third has all of the suspension as well as headers and stuff like that.
Good luck with your build hope this helped.

Easier?
I don't know a whole lot about carb so I don't know about that.
But like I said you already have the donor car, which means it's EFI so stick with that unless you just so happen to have a carb setup.
I've tried to dial in a carb and for me it sucked I wasn't that good with it.
Now with EFI it's just using a tuning software to tune it.
Maybe a more experienced person will chime in on that.
