Default LSx pullout What is needed?

I am looking at getting a 4.8/4L60E from a 2000 GMC 1500 2WD. Obviously I need all accessories, MAF sensor, wiring harness, pcm, gas pedal and linkage. Is there anything needed for the swap that is easy to overlook? The guy I am buying it from has it in a running pickup, so everything is there but I don't want to forget anything and have to buy it later on.

Thanks in advance.

here's a great start for a LSx swap that I found
Covers Auto and manual trannies and shows locations of everything.

I`ll try to remember to post stuff up as I think of it, but for now...
Underhood fuse box and a couple feet of wire after the connectors
OBD II plug under the dash
fuel pump/sender if you want to reuse it.
The air intake tract may be helpful depending on your swap.
don`t cut the radiator hoses, take them whole you ca reuse um or at least have them to test fit with.

Do the LS1 and truck motor exhaust manifolds use the same exhaust flange? I plan on using f-body manifolds, but the pair that I've located do not have the flanges. If the 4.8 flanges will work it will be one less thing to buy.
