One tip from my swap using LS1 how to is to jack the car up on the pass side. Unbolt the 4 bolts in the ac compressor and move it forward to take the pressure off the lines. Then move the condensor toward the motor a little and let the condesor lay on the ground. This worked really well for me.

If you take the oil pump off of the pickup tube for any reason,REPLACE the o-ring with a new one.Not sure if you are changing it or not( OIL PUMP ) but the o-ring has too be changed or you will have lifter noise.

You should do the oil pump if your there. LS1howto is the way to go.
