Default LT1 into a 71 Camaro

I recently purchased a 95 LT1 with a 4L80E out of a Corvette, and I plan on putting it into a 71 Camaro. What I want to know is what do I need, what does it take to hook it up to the factory wiring harness, how do I set up a fuel system to work with the fuel injection, and more. Is there anybody here who is knowledgeable on LT1 swaps, or can direct me somewhere that can give me a good idea of what I need to pull this off? Thanks!

I think there might be something on the street and performance website. www.hotrodlane.cc I know of a guy who did this same swap into his late second gen. I will look around for his website and post it here.
