Are you keeping it EFI or going carbed? I'm assuming from your OP that you're keeping EFI, but just want to clarify before posting in detail.

Default Lt1 swap

Ok man its pretty basic use the original flex plate off wat ever you are swapping with if your keeping the Trans out of your old school and the moter mounts if you google (Brendon Patton lt1 swap) he has the wiring pin outs to build your harness you will have to have your vats deleted so she will run also he has a lot of answers he dous my programing
