Ls1/2 Swap...what am I missing? Alright...what am I missing? Doing the swap from a '02 Camaro Z28. I know I'm missing a few things, but this is my first swap, so that's why I'm here. 
Parts to KEEP from the swap:
Camaro-style Oil Pan (Use old LS1 pan)
Holley 90MM Throttle Body
LS1 Camshaft
Oil and water plugs, main cap side bolts
Valley cover, front cover, timing chain, timing chain damper, crank key, lifter trays, bolts, dowels, and plugs.
(Unsure)~~~~~~~~~~~
Head Gaskets
LS1 Lifters
LS1 Cylinder head Studs
Flywheel -Will the stock M6 hang, or need a replacement?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PARTS to BUY:
Short block: http://www.texas-speed.com/shop/item...id=684&catid=3
KAT-A4757 Injector adapter harness kit: http://www.katechengines.com/street_...tail.php?id=21
KAT-4751 LS2 / LS7 MAP extension harness: http://www.katechengines.com/street_...tail.php?id=21
LS1- LS2 knock sensor relocation harness adapter: http://www.lingenfelter.com/store/rx-ls2-ksrh.html
LS1- LS2 cam sensor adapter harness: http://www.lingenfelter.com/store/rx-ls2-csah.html
Oil Pump, 1997-05 LS1/LS6/LS2 Heavy-Duty: http://www.slponline.com/view_product.asp?P=55001
Timing Chain, 2005-07 LS2 Double-Roller: http://www.slponline.com/view_product.asp?P=55003
And a head/cam package. I still haven't decided on a certain one I like. This is going to be meant for street, with maybe track time 2-3 times every 2 months. As tempting as the big cams are, I'm trying to keep it relatively steady idle, with just a hint I'm not running a stock engine. Any ideas would be great.

Short block, not full crate right? Not the SLP kit. I just am about to shoot myself thinking about how much headaches I was having trying to get everything, and without even thinking to ask about whether of not Texas would include that as part of the package if that's the case.
