Question LS6 swap

Am installing an LS6 engine in a 2000 auto coupe. Does anyone know of anything special that has to be done on this swap?

It's going into a 2000 Corvette that had an LS1 engine with auto trans. We want to keep the auto trans and just replace the engine with the LS6.

Because he wants an LS6 engine maybe?

Should be very straightforward.

No external differences between the engines.
