Question tune up/oil pan

I have a 97 Camaro z28.
my oil pan is no good anymore the bolt holder is just out its leaks lots from there, I have chenged it twice in just last 2 months and same problem.
I'm going to try to find it on a local pick n pull and hopefully find a oil pan. Does all Lt1 Camaro fit the same oil pan?

I'm also going to be doing a tune up on my Camaro, what kind of spark plugs and oil should I use?
Is there any tune up kit(packages) out there that I can order?

For the pan, I would pick up a new OEM pan. They are dirt cheap from the dealer. Probably easier than trying to find one at a junkyard in good shape.

For plugs, that depends on what you plan to do. NGK TR55s are popular for bolt-on cars. While you're at it, I'd do plug wires too (MSDs).
