There is no way that it will clear a stock Firebird hood... trust me. The adaptation of sensors in not a big deal... just cut, splice, and solder. The use of the stock pcm will be difficult. Being that your car is OBD II, tuning might even be more difficult as the OBD II LT1s are a little more sensitive to radical changes. As a few people already have mentioned, tuning will be tough. Being that my car is a stroker and supercharged (and the different intake/throttle body), it made more sense to me just to go with a FAST and not worry about tuning issues. I'll make sure to pick up a FAST for ya the next time I stop by FLP.

I can't talked to you or I will get banned from multiple forums 
I figured the main reason you needed the aftermarket hood was to clear all the piping for your supercharger. I didnt' think about the dang elbow taking up so much room.

I ran the 396 in 2004 with a LT4 intake and direct port NX kit. It ran the 9.85 @ 140 and high 10's n/a.
With this new intake and conversion to solid roller... I have not run at the track yet. It did dyno much better than with the old LT4 intake. I will keep you posted on the track times.
