Default LS1 into my 95 T/A

ok so i found this recked 99 T/A and to my surprise wen i went n looked at it it had the ls1 n it that still turned over (wouldnt start due to the fuel cutt off) i ended up geting the whole car for 1K ive went a head and pulled the motor out by un bolting the shock towers n droped it out from the bottom in a few months im gona pull my LT out for the ls1 ive also purchased a 224/224 cam n new 918 springs and geting ready to buy headers

I was woundering if anyone had some mod sugestions or mayb sum helpful hints to make the swap less difficult, sucess stories ect.... Also will i need a diferent fuel pump for the ls1, and is there a cai that will work with a non ram air hood i dnt think the SLP air box will fit under my hood?
-Thanks
Evan
