Default Will This Work?????????????

Guys
Heres what I am trying to do. I am working on a LS1 swap into a 68 camaro.
My wife will be driving it so it has an auto and a/c. I have notched the sub frame so the compressor can stay in its stock location. I am notching the oil pan to allow room for the drag link. I will be useing a 81 camaro power steering box. I had to trim the exhaust flange on one side alittle. I also had to massage where the o2 sensor was to clear the steering box. Am I headed in the right direction or do you see problems down the road??
Thanks,David

You are on the right direction. What year engine you are using? Mine is 2001 in 67 Camaro and I did not have to clearence anything on exhaust manifolds. You might need a Lee Manufacturing steering coupler for the steering box bec. of second gen shaft and first gen are difrents on manual steering boxes. If you have the power one it is ok I think. Good luck
