Question Oil level on LS3 with LS7 dry swamp

Hello,
my LS3 has the oil pan from LS7 with internal pump and external surge tank.
Wondering about the oil stand inside the oil pan and the min/max Oil ammount.
Is the original oil dip stick still working or useless?
Is the oil inside the engine controlled by the oil pan itself?
What is the min/max oillevel in the surge tank?

Thanks for your help!

Dip stick should be deleted and plugged. Several sources make press fit aluminum plugs for this.

everything else will be ls7 spec, so whatever a c6 z06 calls for, use that. Block makes no difference.
