1998 was the last year for Auburn posi as the base/stock rear, and this unit calls for conventional (non-synthetic) 80w90 lube with a bottle (4oz) of the GM limited slip additive (can be purchased directly from GM); the additive is required for this rear. '99+ received a Torsen limited slip that calls for 75w90 synthetic and the additive is optional (though GM technically still recommends it in the service manual.)

You also need a set of nose plugs. (The stuff smells really really bad.)

You can also get the additive on the shelf at parts stores. I got some at AutoZone that said it was specifically compatible with and met the GM spec.
