Yes you may have to extend the wires for your MAF sensor.

You may also need to get some new bends and do your own intercooler piping and charge piping.

As for your oval throttle body, we found a diesel shop that carried 90deg 4in elbo's that would go on the TB then to a 3in to 4in adapter, which worked out great on our single turbo LT1.

the elbow fits fine, i actually have all the piping ran now using the stock elbow, maf sensor in the stock location, and using the hard plastic piece from my moroso cai to get down to the fender were it it connected to a silicone 90* hose onto the intercooler pipe. i just think it looks kind of hacked. if i tryin to make it a bit of a sleeper it would be great cause you pop the hood and it looks stock, but i want it to look like the kit should.
