Default 2014 6.0l build help

Hello, Im new here and this is my first Vortech build. Ive installed a 5.3 stock in my own 54 Chevy truck. I have a customer who brought me 2014 6.0l VVT but no AFM with 6l90 trans with 30 k on it. . He wants it in a 1973 caprice with 28" wheels. He plans to use Holley Terminator electronics, I will installVVT delete. He wants power in the range of a Sloppy 2 cam and knows he will need a torque converter over 3000. It will have headers but no other modifications. After watching lots of videos I considered sloppy 2 cam and springs, an oil bypass delete, barbell, and baffled swap oil pan. I know fuel system will need revamped. Since lift is only 585 I was hoping not to have to mess with the valvetrain any further. I've read on several posts here that stock lifters and rockers should suffice. One last thing he wants to run A/c as well on this Caprice. Anyone built something similar? Drivability or reliability issues? Thanks for your wisdom and experience.
