Default newbie to ls tech and ls engines

Hello everyone, been on ls1 tech for years now reading and watching folks do their ls swaps. Now it's time for me to do my swap. Never done an ls swap but I have started on it.
Here are some pics of my clunker
.
New engine. (New to my car lol)

Here it is installed and pretty much stuck till I figure some of the kinks out.

Hopefully I can get my car running within a few months.

I'm going to try and hide the computer. I don't want it to show. But the site is what gave me the inspiration to do the swap.

I think im going to mount something to the inside heater box to hold computor. I already mounted tach box with short self tapping screws above tranny tunnel on heater box. curled up wiring & zip tied to dash brace to keep those out of way.
