Default putting a LS1 in a 99z28, have a few questions

I have a lift and tools necessary to do this


i bought a 99z28 roller and will be putting a LS1 in it. Whats the best way to put the motor in? im buying it from my friend, its a longblock, with no intake or accessories on it. could i drop it in from the top with the manifolds/headers on the motor? or should i drop the Kmember from the car, bolt the motor to the kmember with all accessories/manifolds and/or headers and install it that way? thanks !

the second seems to be the easiest, and most used choice, tho you can drop the motor in from the top. You just have to worry about scratching/denting panels more that way.

It will save a lot of time and heartache to pull the car off of the kmember.
