-you will need coolant and refrigerant (unless you want the dealer to do the a/c-which is what i have always done)
-and of course a tune
-depending on what ls6 intake you have you might have to get a freeze plug.
-get several zip ties to tie up the o2 sensor wires.

I wouldn't put rod bolts in without resizing the rods. You're asking for a spun bearing. Just my opinion, I am sure many people have done it without a prob but the risk just seems too great to me.
