Default 2002 Firebird LS3 Swap Project

How's it going It's been a while & well I ended gutting my 99 SS Camaro.. I picked up a great shape 02 Firebird to build a T/A Clone & stripped my SS of everything.. I have complete wiring harness & ecu, ls1 t56, front suspension, brake lines, fuel system W/ lines, & rear suspension. Now I've came across a 2015 SS Wrecked & it's time for a LS3 Swap Instead.. my plan is to use the entire LS3 and run a standalone harness, and I'm going to send the tr6060 to a transmission shop in Dallas Texas to convert it to fbody, my few questions are I want to use the front accessories off the LS3 I plan on putting my radiator straight up will I have any fitment issues with pulleys and can anyone guide me to a wiring diagram to remove any unneeded wires out of my harness. I also want to build my own Standalone can anyone guide me through that? I also want to run the AC off to LS3. I have the complete car so I will not scrap it till I have everything I need I also had a question about running the OBD2 plug and maybe using the 5th gen gauge cluster. I will be ordering a new K member and front suspension package from Umi, once they respond to me about having a sale LOL and will be using a body mounted torque arm I will get a custom driveshaft if required I also will be using the Brembo big brakes on the front at least. Any input will help out this will be a little bit of a project I'd like to get it done ASAP but before I spend any more money I'd like a little guidance. Thanks and I appreciate any positive input!

You may want to try a different section of this site. You posted in the Gen IV Internals section but asked about everything but the internals of an engine lol.

Why not sell the 6060 and get a F magnum tranny
