Default Any issues swapping a TKO 5 SPD behind a L8T?

I have a L8T and 6L90E from a box truck. I would like to swap it into my 67 C10. I would like to use my TKO 5 spd instead of the 6L90E. I will be using the holley swap oil pan and a motor mount/crossmember kit from metaltek

Can I use the flywheel from a LT1?
Are there any tuning or other issues I should be concerned about? My goal is to install the engine stock and to make the swap as painless as possible. Recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I did some asking around, and it looks like the L8T can use a LT1 flywheel, and a tuner should be able to address the manual trans concern. Just wanted to share what I found out.
