Question 2002 TA switching long blocks - lots of ????????

2002 TA switching long blocks from Aluminum LS1 to 99 LQ4 Long Crank.

Are the crank and cam sensors the same?
Are the crank and cam sensors in the same location?
Can I swap the main pulley from the LS1 onto the LQ4?
Both heads are cathedral port so not worried about intakes BUT anything i should know going to 317 heads?
Hoping everything simply swaps over and i could just go.
I am aware of the longer crank stuff for the 4L60 = Not worried about that.
Thanks for your help.

Can I swap the main pulley from the LS1 onto the LQ4? YES, as long as you use the LS1 accessories

Don't forget to drill and tap the front ear of the block for your alternator bracket, You don't want to be doing that after you've dropped the engine in the car
