Default LS1 into a 70 camaro

Just picked up my LS1/T-56. I had quite a few questions about swapping it into my 70 camaro. First off,

1. Will a TH-350 yoke work with the T-56 or do I need a new yoke?
2. I've read and read about how people convert their engine harness to a stand alone, but I don't understand why it needs to be done. All the emissions stuff was deleted off of the computer I got. Can't I just hook up the harness and have it work? Why do I have to send it away and pay big bucks to have a couple wires removed? Could someone please explain it to me in simple terms? lol
3. Do I need any O2 sensors? If so, where do I put them?

Thanks, Paul
