Default LS7 accessory help!

So I'm helping a buddy of mine swap the LS1 out of his f-body and install his custom built LS7 (wet sumped, f-body pan). The LS1 is going into another vehicle so we're likely buying all new accessories for the LS7. I don't want to make any assumptions, but do all of the F-body LS1 accessories fit on the LS7 without issue? How about coil packs? Stock MAF, or SLP MAF? Starter motor strong enough for LS7 duty?

Since we're buying new everything, I want to make sure if we purchase something speced for LS1 it will fit and work properly on the LS7. If anyone has suggestions on brands/styles for any item, we're all ears!

Here is the list of what we need to purchase:
-Coils with bracket
-MAF sensor
-Starter
-Alternator & Mounting Bracket
-Power Steering & Mounting Bracket (Likely getting the Turn-one pump, unsure on bracket)

Also... sensors. The engine was built with a 24x reluctor wheel already, so that's covered. What else are we going to need to purchase?

Thanks in advance!

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I'm trying to surprise my friend with the new parts and any sensors he would need for the swap. A point in the right direction of where to look even would be very helpful.

Yes, you use all the ls1 front engine accessories and the stock ls1 coil packs are fine. We went with a tsp 100mm maf. We also could have used the ls1 starter (our compression ratio is somewhere around 11.5:1 ) but went with the truck starter,or maybe I should say, 2 long bolt starter instead of 1 short and 1 long.Don't really know what the compression ratio limit is on a stock ls1 starter, but we have had no issues.
